The House System offers fantastic opportunities for competition between Houses through a range of activities to suit all students. It has become a great way of fostering a sense of teamwork, resilience, respect and competition among tutor groups, peer groups, and vertically across all year groups. As GMS students are enthusiastic participants of competitions, a diverse range of departments create annual challenges that students excitedly engage with, including building model castles, rowing and sports day, to name just three.
The House system is deeply rooted in the school’s ‘My Personal Best’ values, which instils a sense of loyalty to a wide spectrum of students, more than just their form and year group.
Staff use the SIMS Achievement Point System to award students, among other reasons, for their effort, progress, positive behaviour, displaying good uniform and participating in wider school activities.
The House totals are uploaded onto the website front page frequently. At the end of the academic year, the winning House is awarded the House Cup. The House Cup reflects the effort and contribution of the students over the academic year. The students in the winning House receive an award after all the points have been added up and finalised
