The Houses
Waller Yr 9-11

Waller is a small, friendly House, consisting of 24 boarders and 20 day girls. All the girls know each other and we pride ourselves on making everyone feel welcome and at home. There is an excellent House spirit and girls enjoy participating in inter-house competitions or attending as fervent and vociferous supporters. We are well known for our sporting ability and have won a number of Inter-House sporting competitions.

We consider ourselves good all-rounders and Waller girls work hard in lessons, earning many house points each year. Like the other houses, we are fortunate in having girls in House that are representative of international cultures: Russian, Nigerian, Hong Kong Chinese and Korean girls. Our current boarding Assistant, Friederike Weber, is German. Waller girls live life to the full and thrive on helping each other.
