Introduction to School House

The House system at Kingswood was set up in 1895. School House was so called because it was over what was the “Senior Schoolroom” until the Ferens was built in 1926. School House becomes a day house this year, having been a girls’ boarding house since September 1992 when the Kingswood house structure changed into three senior boys’ and three senior girls’ houses.

The House aims to be a place where the pupils can grow with a sense of responsibility for themselves and others; learn to co-operate and support one another as members of a community; and develop intellectually and socially in a Christian environment.
