We are proud to introduce our new Junior School House Captains team lead by Emily (6B) and her deputy Sophie (6H).
We have four Houses in the Junior School which are named after female authors: Austen, Brontë, Rowling and Crompton. Each House is led by a team of three Captains from Year 6, who are democratically elected twice a year by all the girls from Reception upwards. The staff team then votes for two girls to become Head Girl and Deputy.
Read more about our Team Captains below.
Brontë
Emily (6B) – Head Girl
Favourite subject:
My favourite subject is English because my imagination can run wild and there is no right or wrong answer and I can be in control of my own ideas and thoughts.
Best memory:
I really enjoyed the role-play in our Y5 Victorian themed day. I played the Head Girl, of all characters, and felt excited to be acting out a Victorian child’s life and to understand the difficulties they faced.
Future aspirations:
I love being busy and would like a job that keeps me thinking so I have two contrasting jobs that I am considering. An A&E nurse who has lots of responsibility or a lawyer because they are always researching what they do and trying to find answers.

My class teacher in Year 5 was really supportive and kind when I needed someone to talk to about something that made me feel upset. He made me laugh to make me feel better!

My favourite subject is History because I really enjoy learning about the past and every object or artefact has its own story to tell and I find this fascinating!
Best memory:
Victorian Day in Y5 was such fun. We dressed up and in the role-play activities; I played a Victorian child in the classroom being told off. It was a great experience but very frightening!
