At Kenton College, the House system fosters a strong sense of community and encourages inclusivity and collaboration amongst our children.  From an early age, our pupils  interact with peers of different ages, becoming integral members of a diverse team. 

 

Each pupil and staff member is assigned to one of the four Houses:

 

Bongos (Yellow)

Elands (Blue)

Kudus (Red)

Oryx (Green)

 

Pupils enjoy the healthy sense of competition as they work together to achieve common goals.  Various Inter-House activities take place throughout the year, ranging from sports tournaments to House singing.  Pupils have the opportunity to earn individual merits which are celebrated in Year group assemblies and weekly House meetings. 

 

The House of the Term competition culminates each term in a much anticipated poolside BBQ, while points gained by each House are carried forward to the end of the year in order that the ultimate accolade of gaining the Grigg Cup, can be handed over to the ‘Cock House’ on Speech Day.

Each House is led by a House Parent who works with senior and junior pupil House Captains to develop their leadership skills and to support the pastoral care system.  Our older pupils serve as positive role models, guiding and inspiring our younger pupils.
