The House System
As well as being members of a tutor group, students are also part of our House System. We have four Houses, each named after famous Scientists – Darwin, Einstein, Franklin and Galileo – as befits our Specialist Science status.
The system provides the students with the opportunity to get involved in a range of activities and competitions and promotes teamwork across all years.
Darwin: Head of House – Julie Kenny
Named after Charles Darwin, who laid the foundations of the theory of evolution and transformed the way we think about the natural world.
Einstein: Head of House – Carrie Hartley
Named after Albert Einstein, renowned for his Theory of Relativity and his equation E=mc2
Franklin: Head of House – Virginia Ryan
Named after Rosalind Franklin, a pioneering molecular biologist, responsible for much of the research and discovery work that led to the understanding of the structure of DNA.
Galileo: Head of House – Steve Roney
Named after Galileo, the hugely influential Italian astronomer, physicist and philosopher.
