House System
The Kendrick House system consists of three houses; Cedars, Sidmouth and Palmer House. Each house is assigned a colour, as follows: Cedars - blue, Sidmouth - yellow and Palmer - green. The girls represent their houses in events such as Sports Day, House Scrabble, House Music, House Chess, House Music and Poetry and House Drama. House Points are awarded throughout the year with the winning house receiving the House Cup. Heads of Houses are elected from girls in the Sixth Form, Year 12 to take over until mid-Year 13. The Heads of Houses are members of the Head Girl Team. The current Head Girl is Sarah Houlton.(elected in 2012)
The winner of the 2012 House Cup was Sidmouth.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“Most books belong to the house and street only, and in the fields their leaves feel very thin. They are bare and obvious, and have no halo nor haze about them. Nature lies far and fair behind them all. But this, as it proceeds from, so it addresses, what is deepest and most abiding in man. It belongs to the noontide of the day, the midsummer of the year, and after the snows have melted, and the waters evaporated in the spring, still its truth speaks freshly to our experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We now come to the grand law of the system in which we are placed, as it has been developed by the experience of our race, and that, in one word, is SACRIFICE!”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
