Four houses, one school.
Every pupil and every teacher belongs to a house. It is where pupils are known best, and where the fiercest competitions happen.
Clubs and societies.
Most are run by pupils, with a teacher in the room. New ones start every term.
Come and see for yourself.
The best way to judge a school is to walk around it on a working day.
