Senior House System - Streatham and Clapham High School GDST

At Streatham & Clapham High School, we recognise that a girl’s physical and emotional well-being is closely linked to her academic success. Our House system reflects our commitment to supporting both pupils and parents. Upon joining, each girl is assigned to one of five Houses: Carter, Fawcett, Franklin, Knights or Paston Brown. The Head of House plays a key role in guiding and knowing each girl, building strong relationships with both pupils and parents. House points are awarded for kindness, academic excellence, and participation in events, with House Captains providing leadership opportunities and fostering cross-year friendships.

I write this, eagerly anticipating our first ever House Dance competition which I hope will be a very joyful end to the term. I firmly believe that everyone can dance, and I’m hoping to see exuberant proof of that today. Last night, the musicians in our wonderful Spring Concert proved what great rhythm they had, and reminded me again of how subtly we make connections as we perform together, through eye contact, gestures, and a finely tuned ear.
