House System

The Gosfield House Values

  • Kindness
  • Respect
  • Responsibility
  • Community
  • Independence
  • Resilience
  • Integrity
  • Authenticity

All students belong to one of three houses:

Nevill House

“They shall not pass”

Tudor House

“Self Second”

 

Woodstock House

“Look Wide”

Each house is led by a Head of House who is a member of staff, supported by a student House Captain and Vice House Captain. Within these Houses, students compete for the House Cup by gaining points awarded for effort, achievement and other general considerations. A Sports Captain is also appointed to coordinate sporting activities and inter House sporting challenges, supported by a Vice Sports Captain. There are House Assemblies each week where all year groups from Reception to Sixth Form come together. These assemblies are led by staff who are also allocated to Houses. This system leads to positive relationships and greater consideration from pupils in every year group throughout the School, and also provides a foundation for friendly competition.
