3. Year groups to Houses
Why change?
• Substantial growth 900→1200 pupils
• Loss of identity and sense of community
• How many Year Teams were actually a ‘team’?
• “We’re a 70% school, popular, ‘high performing’ – it
ain’t broke!”
• 20% absolutely switched off. Culture of “Well,
what can you do with them?”
• ‘Us and them’ culture – lack of student engagement
• GHOSTS LEAVE NO FOOTPRINT!
