Houses
The main school is split into six 'form classes'. Each student before arrival is placed into one class. The classes are as follows:
- Austen - named after Jane Austen
- Bronte - named after the Bronte Sisters
- Elliot - named after T.S Elliot
- Paton - named after Alan Paton
- Orwell - named after George Orwell
- Swift - named after Jonathon Swift
The form groups compete against each other during many school competitions including the inter-form tournament and annual quiz. There is also competition between the houses in each year group on effort grade standards and attendance.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“The houses are haunted
By white night-gowns.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“There is a distinction to be drawn between true collectors and accumulators. Collectors are discriminating; accumulators act at random. The Collyer brothers, who died among the tons of newspapers and trash with which they filled every cubic foot of their house so that they could scarcely move, were a classic example of accumulators, but there are many of us whose houses are filled with all manner of things that we “can’t bear to throw away.””
—Russell Lynes (1910–1991)
“And when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this observance?’ you shall say, ‘It is the passover sacrifice to the LORD, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, when he struck down the Egyptians but spared our houses.’”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 12:26-27.
