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.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“A pilgrim I on earth perplext,
with sinns, with cares and sorrows vext,
By age and paines brought to decay,
and my Clay house mouldring away,
Oh how I long to be at rest
and soare on high among the blest!”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
