The Houses

Hencliff House
Cleeve House
Why have a House System?
Increases student leadership
opportunities.
Provides a range of sporting and cultural
activities for students to get involved in.
Provides more opportunities for students to take
responsibility.
Creates a sense of ‘belonging’ to something smaller than a
big secondary school! It creates a ‘school within a
school’.
Increases opportunities to mix with
older/ younger
students and learn from each other.
ConhamConham lies
near Hanham on the north bank of the River
Avon just outside the city boundaries in South
Gloucestershire.The Conham Ferry is a
small passenger ferry which operates across the river from Conham
to Broomhill.The Conham River Park lies
in a loop of the River Avon, and forms part of
the Avon Valley Woodlands.
Hencliff
An overgrown area woodland and brambles hides the remnants of quarrying. Extensive
quarrying has left scars on the landscape, but
these are now disguised by much vegetation.
This area was quarried for over 1000 years, with
local stone thought to have been used for
Bristol Castle!
Bickley
Bickley Wood is a protected site due to
its important geology. Bickley is home to red sand stone which was quarried here in the
19th century. Quarried stone was loaded onto barges just below the
weir at Hanham Mills. It took 2 weeks to get to Avonmouth due to the
tides.
Cleeve
Like Bickley, Cleeve Wood is a protected site due to the flowering Bath Asparagus. It is located close to
Hanham Court, which once belonged to the Monks of Keynsham Abbey. It later was owned by Sir Henry
Creswicke, who was Bristol Mayor in 1660.

Why introduce Vertical Tutoring?• Vertical Tutoring provides a
‘friendlier’ school with tutor groups having a ‘family’ feel.
• Tutor groups are smaller. • More individual conversations
with your tutor about target setting, academic progress and key points in your educational journey.
• More opportunities to learn from other students e.g. Yr. 10 can support Year 9 with Options Choices.
• Vertical Tutoring gives you a chance to work with people of different ages and better prepares you for the world of work.
What is it?
