When students join Westcliff in Year 7 and the Sixth Form they are placed into one of four Houses – Harrier, Kestrel, Merlin and Osprey. Placing students in Houses enables inter-school competition at all levels as well as creating a sense of belonging.   At the end of the year, the points gained during house competitions are totalled up and the winning House receives the Phoenix Cup.

Further details about the House system can be viewed on The House System page of our website.
