Throughout the year at KPS, our four school Houses compete in regular competitions on a variety of cross- department themes, with house points and prizes up for grabs each term!
Our four school houses are: Effra, Fleet, Tyburn & Walbrook- each with their own distinct personalities and strengths.
Each house has its own Student House Captain and Deputy House Captain, as well as a Head of House staff member.
For KPS, the House system allows students to build on a sense of community, identity and belonging within the wider school network, as well as enjoying some healthy competition between them and their peers.
