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.
