The Senior School House System

Planning for the re-introduction of Houses at WGS has been a most exciting project over the last year or so. Aiming to align fantastic pastoral care and extra-curricular involvement, the WGS House System is one of the most anticipated changes in recent School history. The starting point was the leadership of each House; staff and students working together to create four communities, four families within School. Heads of House are ultimately responsible for the welfare and wellbeing of all members of their House. They will be supported by Assistant Heads of House who will also take a lead role in organising House Activities and events. House Captains and Vice Captains will, in turn, support the planning and running of these activities as well as acting as mentors and role models for the members of their House. Finally each tutor group will elect two form captains who will coordinate the contributions made by their form.

Building excitement and enthusiasm for the House System was an absolute must, so House Reveal Day was going to be pivotal. Working with the House Captains, the Heads of House planned a day never to be forgotten! Balloons, bunting, face paints and flags - each year group had their own sorting ceremony. Students were called forward and welcomed into their new House. Smiles, cheers and whoops were aplenty and a real sense of fun and excitement for the new academic year was felt by all.
