Houses
Queensbury uses a 'house' system to encourage teamwork and competition within the school, with awards and points being given to houses for various events. Each form class is assigned to a house, designated by the PE teachers after a few PE lessons to make the houses balanced. The houses used to be selected randomly and the tie you wore represented the house. The houses and colours are shown below. Each house is named after a road around the school.
| House | Road Named After | Location of the road |
|---|---|---|
| Hilton | Hilton Avenue | south |
| Langdale | Langdale Road | east |
| Cansworde | Canesworde Road | north - west |
| Mead | Meadway | north west |

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“I like old people when they have aged well. And old houses with an accumulation of sweet honest living in them are good. And the timelessness that only the passing of Time itself can give to objects both inside and outside the spirit is a continuing reassurance.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
