Our Seven Houses

Each student is assigned to one of seven Houses upon joining the school, each named after a local Shropshire hill:

  • Clee
  • Lawley
  • Haughmond
  • Caradoc
  • Corndon
  • Hawkstone
  • Grinshill

These Houses serve as smaller communities within the school, providing students with opportunities to engage in various activities and develop leadership skills.
