Every pupil belongs to a house (Mars, Jupiter or Mercury) and House Points are tallied weekly, with house competitions fostering leadership and organisational skills. The framework provides ongoing opportunities for students to demonstrate leadership, collaboration and service within the school community.
Pastoral Care emphasises a friendly, caring atmosphere to help pupils develop their talents. The weekly House Points and house competitions support social wellbeing and motivation.
