At Worthgate School, we believe that a strong sense of community is essential to a student’s personal and academic growth. One of the most powerful ways we foster this is through our House system—a uniquely British tradition that continues to bring students together, building character, leadership skills, and lifelong friendships.
Worthgate is proud to feature two distinct Houses: Griffin and Wyvern. Every student, whether they are a day pupil or a full-time boarder, becomes a valued member of one of these Houses from the moment they join. The House system transcends year groups, boarding status, and nationalities, helping to unite our diverse student body. It provides a nurturing structure where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Each House competes for House Points, awarded for academic excellence, acts of kindness, sports achievements, and community participation. This friendly rivalry not only promotes a healthy competitive spirit but also builds confidence, encourages collaboration, and nurtures leadership. Whether it’s through spirited debates, inter-House sports, or music competitions, students are inspired to contribute their unique strengths while learning the importance of teamwork.
For international families seeking a true British school experience—whether as a stepping stone to UK universities or to benefit from a structured, values-based education—our House system reflects the very best of UK private and boarding school traditions. It ensures every student feels seen, supported, and part of something larger than themselves.
