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 became a girls’ boarding house in 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 girls 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. School House has undergone various changes since I was an Assistant Housemistress in September 1992: •
September 1992 to June 2000 Boarding and Day girls for Years 9 to U6
•
September 2000 to June 2003 Entirely Day girls
•
September 2003 to present Boarding for Sixth Form Day girls for Years 9 to U6
House symbols dating way back are a Bullfrog called ‘Bulf’ and a Tulip.
