OL House news and information

Over the years since the College was founded in 1869, there has been a system of Houses – some boarding only, some only for day boys. As the College has expanded and contracted and as the balance of day and boarding pupils has changed over the years, so have the Houses and their names. There have been amalgamations, house names have disappeared and re-appeared – some named in honour of benefactors, some in honour of a significant contribution to the life of the School. Back in those early days, some houses were just given names of colours – Light Blue or whatever. This section has been established to recognise the fact that there are still groups of OLs who meet and correspond because they they grew up in and were part of the life of a specific House, and always will be. OLs are welcome to submit items of news and anecdotes for these sections. If you would like to edit one of these House sections (or add a new one) please let us know via the Contact page.
