Ellianne - I was in Faraday.

Our School houses were Athenians (Blue), Spartans (Yellow), Olympians (Red), Corinthians (Green) and our School badge was a Centurian, Half Man half Horse with his Bow and Arrow Drawn, and a Motto of Celter et Certus, meaning Swift and Sure.

Ellianne - I was in Faraday.

We had Nelson, Livingstone, Haddon and Clive.

Elizabeth Fry was a Gurney before she married.

Mine was Elizabeth Fry. I've got an old £5 note somewhere when she was pictured on it until about 4/5 years ago.

I was in Gurney, named after Mary Gurney, a pioneer of girls’ education. All the houses were named after prominent women.

Peregine, Hobby, Merlin and Kestrel. I was in Peregrine and my sister was in Kestrel.

I went to a King Edward Foundation School. Our houses were Eagles, (yellow) Ironsides (blue) Swifts (purple) Pioneers (green) I have no idea how these names were chosen. I loved my school and we had a half day on Thursdays which helped.

Just remembered the colours, Ray was red, Howitt was white and Flamstead was blue.

Ours were Howitt, Ray and Flamstead and while I must have known at one time what or who they represented, I haven’t a clue now.

I think I was in (Helen) Keller but I can't remember the others.

My house was Chesterton. We also had Beaconsfield, Nash, Herschel, Penn, Ramsay and a couple of others I can't remember.

Ours were Beaufort, Bordeau, Seymour and Tudor, all connected to Edward VI as we were King Edward's foundation.

Ours where named after Saints,I was in St Georges and our colour was Red,we had St.Andrews/Paul/and Christopher if I remember correctly.

Can’t remember, they were all named after local dignitaries and benefactors though, as were the streets surrounding the school.My house badge was a purple colour.

All our school houses were names after trees.
Mine was Oak.

My house was Arundel can’t remember the others I’m afraid colour was maroon.
