Farnham Heath End School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Farnham Heath End School is a Semi-Modern Comprehensive school located in Heath End, Surrey in the southeast of England. With roughly 880 students it is not as large as some other schools in the area although it is still fairly large. Recently the school was able to gain specialist school status in Maths & Computing. It is able to offer a wide range of GCSE and Vocational courses as well as the Ingots Bronze, Silver and Gold Informaion Communication Technology qualifications. In September 2007, a vertical tutor group system was installed, meaning Years 7 to 11 were mixed as forms. Also introduced was a House System, which in turn created a competitive environment. The houses were named after famous people that had been voted by the students:

House Name Colour Named After Head of House
Austen Green Jane Austen D. Jenkins
Owens Blue Jesse Owens B. Laws
Brunel Purple Isambard Kingdom Brunel Unknown
Nightingale Red Florence Nightingale D. James
