The House system is was relaunched in September 2019. Based around the world-famous Rainhill Trials, each house is connected to the railway history of the village by name.
The purpose of the Houses is to recognise the day to day contributions to the school community but also to recognise and celebrate extraordinary achievements and contributions through a House point system. Everyone is included, everyone makes a contribution.
Events are run throughout the year by all faculties, year groups and Houses; a number include charity work and other good causes. Students are actively encouraged to participate in activities that promote a positive school culture within and beyond the school day, this may be part of the events team, faculty buddies or the local community support group.
