Houses

Our exciting and energetic House system sits at the very heart of an Alleyn’s pupil’s experience. For more than 100 years, our eight Houses have provided a sense of pride, community and belonging to their respective members and that familial sentiment stays with Alleyn’s alumni long after their time at school.

Houses set the standard in raising money for chosen House charities, close to their members hearts. Encouraging pupils to share the school values of ROCCK (Respect, Opportunity, Curiosity, Courage and Kindness) outside of our school community. Houses come together with other areas of the school to organise an extraordinary breadth of competitive opportunities in a broad range of disciplines from exhilarating lip syncs and dance-offs, hotly contested sporting leagues, sophisticated and urbane chess, debating and ballroom dancing competitions, and the remarkable and all-inclusive House Music as they battle it out for the coveted Victor Ludorum Trophy. 

Each House operates under the oversight of a Head of House, ably supported by House tutors who help build the sense of community and togetherness that enables so much of our excellent proactive pastoral care. As student’s reach their senior years at Alleyn’s they become increasingly involved in running their Houses and coordinating activities. Setting standards for younger pupils and giving back to their Houses in developing a positive culture in line with the School’s overarching culture.
