Pupils are divided into four Houses: Bongos (Yellow), Elands (Blue), Kudus (Red) and Oryx (Green). Each House is led by a House Parent with pupil House Captains to develop leadership; inter-House activities include sports tournaments and House singing, with the House of the Term competition culminating in a poolside BBQ and House points contributing to the Grigg Cup presented at Speech Day.
The school is run on a not-for-profit basis by Kenton College Trust, which is owned by a charitable trust. The Directors of the company act as Governors and meet regularly to determine planning and policy; Governors are not involved in the day-to-day running of the school.
