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.

Malala

One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

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 Autumn 2017, a competition was held to identify new houses that represent the diverse world that we live in. When the children start TC, in Year 3, they learn which house they are in and about the special people the houses are names after.
