Aims of the House System

'Quit Ye Like Men'

At John Hampden Grammar everything we deliver to our students follows our school mission statement, described simply by using the following three words:

Excellence, Excitement, Ethos

Excellence

The House System aims to deliver the best possible service to our students. We want our students to be able to compete in competitions and events that they would not normally experience within the classroom. Further opportunities for participation will allow students to broaden their experiences by taking part in competitions within an excellent learning environment.

Excitement

We want all students to be excited about the learning opportunities they have at school. The House System provides an excellent base for students to take part in events that truly interest them. Our aim is to provide activities that can excite and engage all students across the school whilst promoting positive learning opportunities.

Ethos

Taking part in the House System allows students to consider the way that we communicate, model excellent behaviour and create high expectations of themselves and others. These are all characteristics that embody the schools ethos. By taking part in the House System students go along way to promoting the clear ethos and community feeling around John Hampden.
