House Systems

The school House System was inaugurated at the Sports/Fun Day in June 2004.

Pupils are allocated to Houses from Nursery. They stay in the House as allocated throughout their time at Colegio Gran Bretaña. All family members are put into the same House, i.e. parents, children, siblings, and cousins.

There are four Houses named after mythological creatures – Griffin (green), Pegasus (white), Phoenix (red) and Minotaur (blue). These names were chosen by the students. There is a House Captain and Vice-Captain of each House in Primary and Secondary. All teachers are allocated a House.

Pupils are awarded House Points for positive reasons such as academic achievement, effort, improvement, kindness etc. 

Mr. Simon Halpin

Mr. Simon Halpin is the overall house coordinator and is responsible for arranging house competitions and for the counting and tallying of all house points.

Mr. Daniel Thorpe

Mr. Daniel Thorpe is the assistant house coordinator and is responsible for arranging house competitions in the primary section.

Every month at Flag Raising, the house with the most points is awarded the monthly trophy.  The annual trophy is awarded at the end of the academic year to the house with the most points.

The major inter house competitions of the year are the Athletics Days.  These are held once a year and each section (FS/KS1, KS2,KS3, KS4) has its own day.
