At KEVI HWGA, every student becomes a proud member of a house group, fostering a sense of pride and belonging in the academy. Our house system is designed to instil team spirit through a diverse array of competitions held each half term.

These competitions serve as a platform for students to actively engage, showcase their talents and contribute to a thriving communal atmosphere. Embracing the spirit of healthy competition, students not only complete but also inspire others to participate, creating an environment of encouragement and support during these exciting half- termly events.

At KEVI Handsworth Wood Girls’ Academy, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals. The House System plays a pivotal role in providing students with opportunities to learn, develop, and master an array of skills that extend beyond the classroom. These experiences contribute to the formation of lifelong interests, the building of positive relationships, and the cultivation of qualities such as confidence, self-esteem, and resilience.

Under the careful guidance of our Director of Character and Personal Development, along with the dedicated House Co-Ordinator, each house group is led by an enthusiastic House Captain. These appointed leaders serve as catalysts for engagement, promoting and encouraging participation across all year groups. Furthermore, House Captains take charge of planning and leading their own unique house competitions on a termly basis, ensuring a dynamic and student-driven experience.

At KEVI Handsworth Wood Girls’ Academy, our House System is not just a structure; it is a dynamic force that empowers students to discover their voice, showcase their talents, and forge lasting connections. Join us in celebrating the spirit of unity, achievement, and personal growth as we embrace the boundless possibilities within our vibrant house community.
