Beaumont School (St Albans) - Forms and Houses

Forms and Houses

Beaumont School has six form groups in each year using the letters of the word 'L E A R N S'. In September 2009, the school introduced a house system to run along side the form groups. Students were able to vote for the names of the Houses resulting in the following: Luther-King, Elgar, Austen, Redgrave, Newton and Seacole. Interform competitions between year group forms are encouraged and take place regularly; testing a variety of skills including sports competitions, science challenges and drama performances. This allows all pupils to demonstrate their different abilities.

Famous quotes containing the words forms and/or houses:

    The terrorist and the policeman both come from the same basket. Revolution, legality—counter-moves in the same game; forms of idleness at bottom identical.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
