Houses

After much discussion the new House names have been decided. As from September 2012, the new Houses at Blackminster will be Discovery, Endeavour and Resolution. These were the names of some of the ships sailed by James Cook; the explorer, navigator and cartographer.  We felt that the link with Cook’s scientific and geographical legacy was significant, but also that the names sum up the qualities that we want to develop in our students.

Discovery House will be lead by Miss Harris, and their colour will be blue. Endeavour House will be lead by Mrs Watson and will have green as their colour. Mr Jacob will lead Resolution House, and will be red.

Parents and carers will have the opportunity to meet with their child’s tutor early next academic year in the Meet the Tutor evenings – you will be advised of the dates and how to make appointments nearer the time.
