Each of these houses is split into North, South, East and West in each year, and they are each a form of 15, which are paired with the same of the year above or below, e.g. 7&8, 9&10, until year 11 when they are alone. The Classes are grouped as North and South or East and West. The students wear a green uniform with a green tie with a stripe of the colour of their house on it. Beech is blue, Willow is green, Rowan is red and Oak is purple but used to be silver (grey). In July 2009, at the regular sports day event, Willow house took first place followed by Rowan house in second and beech house took third spot whilst Oak house came last. A lot of rowan's success was somewhat down to Year 7's winning Team A football and 2nd place in football b team; they also won Basketball A and B, Tennis, Rounders and got 3rd in netball and table tennis. This is somewhat not true as they scored over 6000 point,200 behind willow.Also in July 2009 The house cup scores came in. Now in order to get house points you have to behave, work well and receive awards from teachers. Rowan House had come 4th, Oak house 3rd, Beech house 2nd and willow house 1st.
