Houses
The school is organised into 4 houses, based on the charges on the Westminster coat of arms; Tudors (Red), Lions (Blue), Fleuries (Green) and Martlets (Yellow). There are regular inter-house competitions during the school year, including music, Scrabble and Chess. All the houses have a House Captain, Vice-Captain and 2–3 monitors.
