House Competitions


The Stanway School has four Houses - Gainsborough (Head of House Mr Dawson), Rutherford (HOH Miss Stewart), Shakespeare (HOH Mr Muir) and Wellington (HOH Miss Giles). When students join the school they are placed in a form group in one of these houses. They will normally stay in this form for the duration of their time at the school. This system provides continuity for both students and parents as the form tutor remains the first point of contact during their time at the school.

Throughout the school year seventeen inter-house competitions are organised and students will be expected to take part in as many events as possible. The winners of each competition are awarded a house trophy which is displayed in the cabinet in the main reception area.
