After the amazing discovery of the long-lost one-armed House Cup, which was awarded to FHS girls back in 1930s, Francis Holland has embraced the House System as an opportunity to participate in a range of events to compete for the title of House Champions!

Pupils (and teachers!) join one of four Houses – Mars, Jupiter, Saturn or Neptune – and are invited to compete in a variety of exciting events and competitions ranging from sports to drama to quizzes including:

• School Birthday Inter-House Drama
• Spelling Bee
• Mini Marathons in Regent’s Park
• Spaghetti Tower Challenge
• Debating
• Sports Day… and much more!

As well as competitions, each House takes a turn at organising lunchtime events to raise money for a chosen charity. Students in the Sixth Form can apply to be a House Captain which allows them to develop leadership skills in preparation for university applications.
