More than just points: how House life shapes PGP
A House system is a well-established tradition in prep schools and since Harry Potter introduced readers to the Houses of Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor at Hogwarts, there has been a growing awareness of the value such a system brings to schools. Among its many benefits are the opportunities it provides for children to interact with both younger and older peers during House events, as well as the sense of friendly competition and collegiality it fosters.
Children also develop essential leadership and teamwork skills through shared endeavours. The strong sense of belonging and identity they form with their Houses (and with the values embodied by their chosen figures of inspiration, Attenborough, Earhart, Shackleton, and Williams) encourages an understanding of social responsibility.
Each House event, whether it's the end-of-term sports day, weekly House points, or the annual House charity fundraising initiative, brings a buzz of excitement and a touch of healthy anticipation as the date approaches. PGP’s House system is an integral part of the school’s vibrant culture and ethos and we eagerly look forward to seeing the children champion their Houses at Sports Day and the Attenborough House Talent Show.
