Houses
The school currently has five houses: Arden, Nevil, Tudor, Vesey, and Warwick. The colours are white, red, blue, yellow, and green respectively. Girls will be assigned a house at the start of Year 7, which they will stay in throughout their school life, including Sixth Form. Their forms are their houses, so if one was in Arden house, they would be in 7A, then 8A, and so on. In the Sixth Form girls keep their houses but are split from their forms into six colour groups: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, and Purple.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“A feeble man can see the farms that are fenced and tilled, the houses that are built. The strong man sees the possible houses and farms. His eye makes estates, as fast as the sun breeds clouds.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“These were such houses as the lumberers of Maine spend the winter in, in the wilderness ... the camps and the hovels for the cattle, hardly distinguishable, except that the latter had no chimney.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
