House System
The four school houses are:
- Frere (for Sir Henry Bartle Frere, Bt., G.C.B.)
- Napier (for Gen. Sir Charles James Napier, G.C.B.)
- Streeton (for the Rev. G. B. Streeton, M.A.)
- Papworth (for a former principal, Leonard Papworth, M.B.E.)
The house system was introduced in 1929 and the houses were originally known as A, B and C; the following year the house names were changed to Napier, Frere and Streeton respectively.
