Houses

Joining a House is like being part of an extended family, with all the loyalty and strong ties of such a close-knit group.

Every BGS pupil joins one of our Houses. Not only great fun to be part of, the Houses are a valuable support to all our pupils. They give a powerful sense of community and continuity, achievement and belonging.

With inter-House competitive events in sport, music and dance, loyalty to your House helps build team spirit. Everyone makes new friends in other classes and across all year groups, and pupils feel a keen sense of belonging to an extended 'family' of all ages.

'Your House gets you to work as a team and means you get to work with people you don’t necessarily know that well. It makes for a nice atmosphere because you’ve done something together.' James, Year 7

'I've enjoyed playing in the House matches, even though we haven’t had that much success it’s been really good fun.' Simone, Year 7
