TBGS House Names Announcement
Replacing House Names – embracing change, exciting opportunities, and the importance of house culture…
Red or Blue, Dobson or Clifford, Frobisher or Gilbert; throughout the school’s history you may be surprised to learn that we have now changed our House names on three separate occasions! Who knows if this will happen again in the future, but whilst some traditions will come and go, it is the culture that exists within each house that remains the most important part of our house system. We will continue to encourage leadership skills through prefect roles and responsibilities, and to build a sense of service through charitable fundraising events, or through work in the local community, and we will always celebrate individual talents and successes in various forms.
Each House has their own ethos, each with their own colour and crest, but all of them fostering a sense of belonging, camaraderie and community.
So, after many months of consultation and discussions, we are delighted to be renaming each house after a famous Devon landmark: Burgh, Dart, Fox Tor, Goodrington, Haldon and Rougemont. These House names now represent a new chapter in the school’s history and bring with them a host of exciting and new opportunities.
