House System
Posted: February 1, 2011
Starting in September 2011 Stretford High will have a modified House System that includes a separate Year 7 School called The Busby School. Year 7 students will be in tutor groups made up entirely of Year 7 pupils. At the end of Year 7 they will ‘graduate’ into the main school house system.

Benefits of the House System
- Student Focus; each student treated as an individual – not just one more student in a large year group.
- A caring, supportive environment; each student becomes a valued member of a small ‘family unit’ within a larger ‘family’ within the whole school.
- Respect, consideration and courtesy.
- A well-ordered, stimulating and enjoyable atmosphere in which deep learning and effective teaching can flourish.
- Support for the vast majority of our students who already want to learn and behave
- Positive self esteem amongst students and value of the ethos of the school community.
- The opportunity to obtain the essential qualifications and entry skills for chosen careers and the life skills necessary for a rapidly changing society.
- Equality of opportunity and encouragement to realise an individual’s full potential.
- Building of an individual’s strengths within a group and bonds with other students of all ages.
- Peer support to combat bullying.
- Promotion of the ‘Student Voice’, Student Responsibility, Team skills, Leadership skills and Co-operation.
- Extra-Curricular activities which enrich, broaden and round off the experience of our students.
- Development of personal and social skills and well being.
A school in which Students, Parents, Staff, Governors and the Wider Community can be justly proud.
