House Competition
The House System
There were 5 houses:
North - green;
South - dark blue;
East - yellow;
West - maroon;
Centre - light blue
The house masters were:
North - Mr H Bennett;
South - Mr J Mitchell;
East - Mr E Tordoff;
West - Mr Beck;
Centre - Mr A Rodley
We collected house points for good work, in class and exams, in the form of HMs (honourable mentions). Sport also brought about points with inter-house competitions - football, cricket, athletics, cross-country etc.The cross-country was fun wasn’t it? An overcrowded changing room at Horsfall Playing Fields followed by a run through a usually muddy Judy Woods. Even if you were excused on medical grounds you were still expected to be a race marshall!
