 When the school first opened the entire school assembled on only two days a week, in the Main Hall and four side halls which opened out to form The Great Hall.House assemblies took place in the morning in the side halls with two halls alternating where they shared; whilst the other two days were for tutor groups within the house setting.Thus pupils had the potential, in theory at least, for guidance from Form Teachers, Tutors, as well as their Class Subject Teachers.
