Houses
House System
We are very proud of our House system at Trafalgar. Each student is assigned to a House on their entry to the school. There are six Houses, each named after notable places local to the school: Breamore, Clarendon, Longford, Pembroke, Radnor and Wick. The Houses, through their Tutors and Heads of House, support students both academically and pastorally.
​
Form Tutors stay with their group as they move through the school. This enables Tutors to build up a close rapport with students, parents and carers. Inter-House competition is encouraged and celebration is a huge focus of the work of the House.
​
Each House assembles once a week and this provides an opportunity for both attainment and achievement to be celebrated. In addition, Tutors perform the valuable role of challenging and mentoring their Tutees academically.

Welcome to Breamore House!
As the head of Breamore House, I am delighted to welcome you to a vibrant community where ambition meets kindness. Our house, symbolised by the fierce and determined shark, embodies the spirit of resilience and strength. We navigate challenges with confidence, embrace teamwork, and strive for excellence in all that we do.
​
In Breamore, we believe in the power of collaboration and support. Together, we celebrate each other's successes, push one another to reach our goals, and create a space where every voice is heard. Our commitment to academic achievement, creativity, and sportsmanship is what sets us apart, and I am proud of the dedication and passion each of you brings to our house.
​
We are proud to have a dedicated team of tutors who are committed to our students’ growth and success. They are here to support students academically and personally, fostering a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive. Together, we navigate challenges, celebrate achievements, and build lasting friendships.

Welcome to Clarendon House!
​
I am always proud of the students need to help others, their commitment to working and the progress they achieve. We really have caring and hardworking students making up the Clarendon team.
​
After last year's success of raising money for Cancer Research UK, we have this year made our focus The RSPCA.
​
As Head of Clarendon, I look forward to working closely with all those in my House and expect 100% effort from all involved - including myself. It is expected that being a part of Clarendon means you work to the best of your ability in all aspects and do not quit.
​
Working alongside me are my fantastic team of Tutors, Miss Gately, Mrs Cole, Mr Cleeter, Mr Ettery and Mrs Borras.

Welcome to Pembroke House!
​
​Pembroke House is a very close-knit pack within the Trafalgar community, from our Year 7 pups to our Year 11 leaders of the pack.
As individuals, Pembroke students:
-
Work proactively to achieve their goals
​
-
Organise themselves to manage their time
​
-
Love and show curiosity in their learning
-
Value and appreciate others and their differences
​
-
Embrace all opportunities on offer
-
Show strength in their ability to adapt to the changing landscape we live in
As a pack, Pembroke students are connected, build supportive relationships, take on leadership, and look outward to support others in the wider community. I am ably supported in leading Pembroke House with a fantastic team of Tutors, Year 11 Prefects and Year 10 Vice Prefects.​

Jane Uncles, Head of Pembroke House
Welcome to Radnor House!
​
In Radnor House we pride ourselves on our resilience and our ability to support one another. We are committed to being the best that we can be, in everything that we do. Through assemblies and tutor time students learn how to be active and responsibilities citizens, both within the school and the wider community and we aim to inspire others with our commitment and dedication to our work.
​
Charity fundraising is very important to us. Over the last 2 years, we have raised over £3000 for Young Lives vs Cancer through fundraising activities and the Great Big Walk. This year our students have chosen Cancer Research as our charity. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved through charity work and what strikes me the most about my Radnorites is that they recognise and value the work of charities and the impact it has on people less fortunate than themselves.
​
As Head of House I am lucky to have a fantastic team of Tutors who regularly go above and beyond in order to support and motivate their tutees. They provide both academic and pastoral support so that their tutees can become the source of their own success.​​​
Matt Williams, Head of Radnor House
Welcome to Wick House!
​
Just like the dear our House emblem - 'we are intuitive and self-ware. We appreciate our surroundings'.
​
We might be the newest House but don't underestimate us. Students in Wick are kind and warm hearted. A kind caring nature typifies a Wick student. Wick students are the embodiment of The Trafalgar School Values.
​
This years chosen charity is The Air Ambulance. I know Wick students will do all they can to offer their support to this charity.
​
​​
This year, we shall be represented in Years 7, 8, 10. Our House (herd) is growing and with it an even greater sense of community.
