Year 7 Tie Presentation
We were pleased to welcome so many families into school on the first day of term for our equivalent of Harry Potter’s ‘sorting hat.’
Our tie ceremony is where children discover which of our six houses they will be in for the duration of their Saracens High School journey. The children process onto the stage with their new learning coaches and are presented with a brand new school tie:
- Alphonsi – purple stripe
- Hill – yellow stripe
- Johnson – blue stripe
- Rimla – green stripe
- Trenchard – pink stripe
- Wilberforce – silver stripe
This year we were honoured to have with us Richard Hill MBE, the very person Hill house is named after. This former Saracens player was joined by two current Saracens players – Ben Morrow and Asa Stewart-Harris.
Pupils and families also heard about our Saracens values – discipline, hard work, honesty and humility – from Principal Dr Stevens and Year Lead for Year 7, Miss Ekwebelem.
The new year 7s have settled in superbly. The house competition promotes healthy competitiveness throughout the year as the house points pupils earn contribute towards their house’s total. Trenchard house have taken the early lead this year but we expect there to be lots of jostling for pole position as the weeks progress!
