The school said the conference provided guests with an in-depth exploration of why a house system serves as the cornerstone of the school's ethos.

Deputy headteacher Max Gayler took to the stage to speak about the impact of the house system on fostering a cohesive culture and strong connections within the school community.

Participants gained a profound understanding of how this system acts as a ‘vital catalyst’ for guiding and inspiring pupils to achieve success across various aspects of their academic journey, cocurricular engagement and overall personal wellbeing.

The conference is a part of Connect with Kennet, an initiative aimed at fostering engagement and collaboration within the school community.
