House System

The House system is an important part of helping pupils to feel part of the Newton community and allow them to be recognised for performance and participation both within and beyond the classroom. These smaller, vertical groupings help pupils to develop a deeper sense of belonging, promote a sense of camaraderie, and provide opportunities to explore leadership, mentoring and teamwork.

Our four Houses are named after apple varieties in keeping with the theme of the School:

Crispin (Yellow)
Nonsuch (Green)
Spartan (Red)
Winston (Blue)

House Points

Good behaviour, work and effort are rewarded by House points in the form of stickers, certificates, merits and distinctions. In addition, we run a number of House events each year. The most recent competitions include: ‘Transport for Newton’ London Underground Challenge, Maths and Science Creative Challenge, A Celebration of Poetry and Song, Newton’s Got Talent and our annual Sports Day.

House Captains

Each year, we appoint House Captains from Year 8 who are expected to take responsibility for all members of their House, set a good example, promote achievement, and help to lead the various House events. Additionally, two Lower School House Captains are appointed each term.
