What were the "house names" in your school?

[Deleted User X18H]

At West Blatchington its was Red St George (topical) Blue St Andrew, Yellow St David and beleive it or not Green St Patrick......I was in Greens............we didn't bother with all this at Hove Park !!!!

I was at BHASVIC in the early 80's - don't recall having houses though.

When I say I was "at" BHASVIC, I turned up for the odd lesson which might explain why I don't recall there being houses.

Carden Middle School had Bramber, Arundel, Lewes and Pevensey after the castles...

 

[Lush]

Westlain Grammar - I was in Firle!

Last intake before it joined up with Stanmer SM to become Falmer High in '72!!

Blimey. Haven't thought about this in years but somewhere in my distant memory I have a vague recollection of Lancaster (red), York (yellow), Essex (blue) and Warwick (green). Not sure why those though.

Junior School were all UK patron Saints. I was in St Patricks.

Senior school (Brighton College) I was in Chichester. It was a boys-only boarding house then - now I think it is a mixed day house.[/QUOTEI


St Andrews in the juniors and Durnford at the College.

Memories, memories.

St George's in the Junior School (1979-1984) - the Housemaster at that time was the fantastic Mr Leonard.

Leconfield (1984-1988) and School (1988-1989) in the Senior School.

After suffering 4 years of Basil Smith's sarcasm and put-downs, it was time for a fresh start and a move to boarding for the last year. Good times.

At Shoreham Grammar School (or Shoreham college as it is now), we had

Nelson (yellow),
Raleigh (blue),
Rodney (red),
Grenville (green).

I was in Grenville.

At West Park Middle they were named after the surrounding roads and were:

Clive (Blue)
Marlborough (Green)
Wellesley (Yellow)
Shaftesbury (Red)

We had no house names at Durrington High.

Out of interest Thimbles, when were you at West Park. I don't remember house names when I was there. May dad taught there, my nieces go there now.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Rugby (red)
Ditchling (blue)
Grantham (green)
Edburton (yellow)

colours might be a bit mixed up

That's right I think, if you're talking about Downs and the surrounding roads. It was like that when I was there anyway.

mmmm, good question. We had blocks A, B, C, D, E and F. A was Arundle, C was Calais, D was Dieppe, E was Eclipse and F was Falais.

I'm not sure what the link is. I cannot recall any French town being named Eclipse.

B = Bordeaux I think. Tideway by any chance? I thought C was Caen though.

I don't remember having house names in Durrington First, but I was in Petworth at DMS - what one were you in?

I've got a vague memory that after we left they changed the house names at DMS to Jura etc or maybe I'm old and confused!

I was in Parham (Blue). Shame if they did change the names

 

[Heffle Gull]

at Heathfield Comp we had

Fuller (my House)
Elliott
Harmer
Kipling
Woodward

Apparently all local historical figures, though I have never managed to work out who Woodward was.

Lol! Very good Chicken Run, or should I say, Harry P?

[Gwylan]

I was in Trustram - as my dad had been.

When were you there? I did my stretch between 68 and 75

They've been mentioned previously, but I don't remember them with any affection - just loathing.

Out of interest Thimbles, when were you at West Park. I don't remember house names when I was there. May dad taught there, my nieces go there now.

I was at West Park from September 1984 (where I joined from Heene First) through to July 1988 when I went onto Durrington High.

I was in Clive (blue) house.

Albion & England forever.
