At CCSC we are proud to have a house system that takes advantage of that smaller, more intimate community within the larger school, promoting student engagement, enhancing camaraderie across the year groups through teamwork in friendly competition, giving a sense of belonging and something that they have a loyalty to.

When joining the school, all students are allocated a place in one of our four school houses and wear coloured stripes on their tie representing that house.

Bannister – Yellow 
Elgar – Green
Newton – Red
Shakespeare – Blue

All members of staff are also assigned to a house and offer their support during house activities and sports day, often joining in the activities which in turn supports the amazing relationships that are developed here.

The house system has been designed to enrich students’ time at CCSC, without adding to the academic pressures of secondary school, and offers activities outside of the school’s normal curriculum. Most activities require no sporting or academic expertise and are therefore accessible for all students. 

Students are rewarded for their participation across the year in the way of event logs with medals and trophies for winners. The school also offers event logs for students that support the running of these events.

All points are collated throughout the year with a trophy being awarded to the winning house.

Mr Wilson
House Systems Coordinator
