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.

“I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons & Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“And the Harvard students in the brick
hallowed houses studied Sappho in cement rooms.
And this Sappho danced on the grass
and danced and danced and danced.
It was a death dance.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
