Our School Houses

At Thomas Coram, all of our pupils are in 4 different houses. Sports Day and House Points are two ways that the pupils come together, regardless of their year group, with a common goal to do their best and support each other.

From the opening of The Thomas Coram Middle School in 1989 until December 2017, the school’s House system took its names from four famous sailormen – Cook, Drake, Frobisher and Nelson.

In the Autumn term 2017, a competition was held, following discussion between governors and the school council, for new House names which reflect Thomas Coram’s determination to make a difference to the life of others, rather than his sea fairing past.
