House System
The 24/25 Academic Year began with the introduction of our new House System with 7 Houses representing the school. The House names are iconic figures of the past and were decided by out Student Voice panel towards the end of last year. Our students have had replacement ties handed to them with a singular strip representing their House colour. Each figure represents one of Chiltern Hill's Academy's 7 values.
Early this year, Year 10 students have been appointed as House Captains to help support the school in running an enriching and engaging House Programme for everyone to enjoy. All staff have had houses assigned to them ensuring healthy competition is flowing through the school! Keep your eyes out for the variety of House competitions we will have on offer throughout the year.
