Houses
The Thomas Aveling School vertical house system was introduced in 2008 with the introduction of four new houses; Achilles, Cavalier, Resolute and Victory. The house names were inspired by the local history of Chatham dockyard with all 4 houses named after ships that had been built in the dockyard.
Our Vertical House System allows us to have a more personalised learning and student support system. It is a system built on mixed-age mentor groups, ranging from 11-18 with form mentors facilitating each group. It has three main purposes:
- to improve student outcomes
- to increase student mentoring, support and leadership
- to improve relationships and communication between parents, staff and students
