The House System at King’s Hill

We have a House System across the school to promote the notion of how we operate as a TEAM at King’s Hill. The House System upholds the values and ethos of our school and provides all of the pupils with the opportunities to become involved in team events / activities and gain life skills to support them as they grow.

As a member of the House System, our pupils develop, a wide range of attributes, which reflect our school expectations:
