HousesInclusivity and Enjoyment

Extending across all year groups, the ethos behind the house system is about inclusivity and enjoyment. Girls are allocated into one of six houses when they join the school and within their House they are part of a family which consists of 1-2 students from each year-group.  The Houses are Bassi (purple), Lovelace (green), Maathai (red), Naidu (orange), Quinn Brown (blue) and Sheppard (yellow). Being in a House provides opportunities for girls to socialise and to work in teams with girls from other year-groups. The students take part and compete in House events and enthusiastically cheer each other on, further developing our culture of team spirit, mutual respect and support.

Sports Day is, of course, one of the flagship House events along with House netball and hockey, the House singing competition, House debating and House bake-off. And to top it all off, we have the fantastic Godolphin tradition of the fiercely contested House Lipsync battles!

It’s not just about being competitive though; House breakfasts, House drama and House fundraising events are also a valuable part of Godolphin school life.
