All students and staff belong to one of our four houses: Kestrel, Merlin, Osprey, and Peregrine. House Points are awarded for various achievements, including charitable contributions, demonstrating NTS values, showing courtesy, and making significant efforts in their studies. Throughout the academic year, our school community earn thousands of House Points for their contributions!

During our themed House Weeks, a variety of activities and competitions are organised by the Sixth Form House Captains and House Leaders, aimed at fostering participation from the entire school community. Points are awarded to recognise and reward pupils’ efforts. Parents can track their child’s accomplishments through EduLink.

See our or Facebook page for in depth photos of our recent House activities.
