Houses

The house system at the Coleshill School helps to provide all students with a sense of belonging and gives each student a wide support network they can draw on throughout their time at the school. The house system also provides a range of exciting and varied opportunities for students to take part in, including student leadership and inter-house competitions. There are four houses; Beauchamp, Dudley, Greville and Newburgh, named after four of the previous Earls of Warwick.

Each house is led by a member of the Sixth Form Leadership Team who work hard to encourage and support all students within their house and to organise events for students throughout the year.  

Inter-House Competitions:

Inter-house competitions give students the chance to take part in a wide range of competitions taking them beyond their academic studies and providing opportunities to try new things.

All entries to an inter-house competition earn students points for their house, culminating in an overall winning house being awarded the house trophy in July. Every entry also receives SPIRIT points to reward students who go above and beyond in taking part in competitions. Students can also win individual rewards for winning entries. Prizes can include a house badge, VIP early pass, individual trophies, a place in the raffle for a free Drayton Manor place, free tickets to the school show and a place in rewards afternoons.
