#it was fun dressing up in your house shirt as theyd often have face paints and ribbons

My primary school had houses namdafter local castles. My secondary named them after 'inspirational women' as it was n all girls school and heavily advertised itself as being empowering for women. Both schools used the same colours for houses: green, yellow, red, blue.

Amusingly my primary just put in houses where kid 1 went to house 1 etc but for some reason secondary had a system??

If they were a teachers kid they were in the same house as the teacher - except for 1 girl as she was named the same as one of the houses so they put her there. If you had an older sibling you were put in the same house as them. Rumour had ot if your parents attended recently enough you'd be the same house as them but never heard confirmation of this. After that no idea how they sorted the rest. I knew I'd be in green house as i was the 3rd kid to attend.

with last reblog I'm curious now, brits whose schools had houses what were yours? I was in Kielder and then St David after we moved (both primary schools) and they were both the houses that always did worst lol
