Introduction to the House System
We operate a pastoral house system of four Houses, Garrett, Hockney, Mason and Palin. Form groups within each house are divided by year group.
The benefits of the house system are as follows:

The Houses
House names have been selected from famous Yorkshire persons related to the arts.
Each House annually has nominated one boy and one girl House Captain and one boy and one girl Vice Captain.
Benedict Shield
Each term all house points are aggregated and the top scoring house wins the Buttery Shield which is presented at the end of Term assembly. At the end of the summer term points from the termly Buttery Shield are added together and the winning house receives the Benedict Shield at the end of year assembly.
House Points are gained from vivo points, 100% attendance, taking part in school productions, playing sport for the school, good behaviour and going the extra mile. Points are deducted for being late to school, incorrect uniform, using mobile phones in school and poor behaviour.
