Why have a House System? Creates a sense of ‘belonging’ to something smaller than a big secondary school! It creates a ‘school within a school’. Increases opportunities to mix with older/ younger students and learn from each other. Provides more opportunities for students to take responsibility. Provides a range of sporting and cultural activities for students to get involved in. Increases student leadership opportunities.
Conham Conham lies near Hanham on the north bank of the River Avon just outside the city boundaries in South Gloucestershire. The Conham Ferry is a small passenger ferry which operates across the river from Conham to Broomhill. The Conham River Park lies in a loop of the River Avon, and forms part of the Avon Valley Woodlands.
Hencliff An overgrown area woodland and brambles hides the remnants of quarrying. Extensive quarrying has left scars on the landscape, but these are now disguised by much vegetation. This area was quarried for over 1000 years, with local stone thought to have been used for Bristol Castle!
Bickley Bickley Wood is a protected site due to its important geology. Bickley is home to red sand stone which was quarried here in the 19th century. Quarried stone was loaded onto barges just below the weir at Hanham Mills. It took 2 weeks to get to Avonmouth due to the tides.
Cleeve Like Bickley, Cleeve Wood is a protected site due to the flowering Bath Asparagus. It is located close to Hanham Court, which once belonged to the Monks of Keynsham Abbey. It later was owned by Sir Henry Creswicke, who was Bristol Mayor in 1660.
