Following consultation with students, student governors and staff, we are excited to announce that we are expanding from two houses to four this year. By moving to four houses, we hope to remove the binary win or lose aspect that currently exists within the school and foster a greater sense of interhouse competition where student vie not only for first or last place but are able to see their rise and fall across the year and to see progress across their time here at Wood Green school.
This means that Cornbury and Wychwood have been dissolved and students are in the process of voting for the new theme from a shortlist from student ideas. Students will continue to be part of the process as they will design the logos and mottos and apply to become student house leaders in the next few weeks.
By October Half Term, our new houses will be in place, and we will be launching the new calendar of competition, which students, now with their newly named and defined houses will be welcome to compete in a new series of competition vying for the ever-coveted Sue Sawyers House Cup.
We look forward to seeing what the students achieve in what is sure to be an exciting year.
