Haydon School - Removal of House System

Removal of House System

From September 2012 onwards it was removed, Haydon School no longer has a house system in place.instead, they replaced it with a year system. This change also means that the coloured ties and conduct cards have no significance. This is why the new head teacher, Mr Jones has decided that each year group will be allocated a colour, which will move up with them until they leave the school. The new year 7's have whatever colour the previous year 11's had e.g the new year 7's have red, this colour will stay with them throughout their time in the school. The teachers decided to make this change so they could manage the students better.

Famous quotes containing the words removal of, removal, house and/or system:

    Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Anyone who seeks for the true causes of miracles, and strives to understand natural phenomena as an intelligent being, and not to gaze at them like a fool, is set down and denounced as an impious heretic by those, whom the masses adore as the interpreters of nature and the gods. Such persons know that, with the removal of ignorance, the wonder which forms their only available means for proving and preserving their authority would vanish also.
    Baruch (Benedict)

    The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.
    Tony Benn (b. 1925)

    The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.
    Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
