caronlel Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 St. Johns (Park) CofE, NF&M School on Manor Oaks Road had: Venus Saturn Mercury Jupiter (?) The last one I'm not sure on but I think the others are right - I was in Venus and the house points collector when we were in M4 was called Margaret Gregory. How's that for memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyH Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I went to Notre Dame and we had Cavendish, Compiegne, Picardy and Blessed Julie (??!!), which was my house. My favourite color is blue, so I was happy I got to be in Blessed Julie. We also had to wear Panama hats in the summer with a colored ribbon in your house color.

marieharvey Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I went to Abbeydale Infant and Junior then the secondary mod attached to it (not bright enough to pass the eleven plus but have got a degree since!) and our school houses were Welbeck (green), Chatsworth (yellow), Hadden or is it Haddon (Blue) and Hardwick (red). We had interhouse competitions and took pride in winning points for our house. The competition in schools now seems much more aggressive (speaking as an x-teacher) and is all about the individual. All the team spirit has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
