In the Autumn Term we produce the House play jointly with Horsley Girls.  We also hold at least one House football tournament each term.  At Christmas we have a Christmas assembly which includes reminding people of the Christmas story and carol singing.

In the Spring Term we have a pancake assembly in the week nearest to Shrove Tuesday, when we make pancakes an remind ourselves about the traditions associated with them.  On the last Friday of the Spring Term we run the Horsley Arcade jointly with Horsley Girls as the Houses' contribution to the school Lenten Appeal.  All students in the House are involved in running stalls and activities.  On the last day of term we hold an Easter assembly which includes an Easter Egg raffle.

The House spirit and sense of community in Horsley Boys is a tribute to the way in which all members of the House, students and tutors, work together to achieve a sense of belonging.  This is shown by the fact that all the boys in Years 9, 10 and 11 wear their House ties.

We make a real effort to involve the boys in the way the House is run.  The Housemaster has a fortnightly meeting with the House Captain to discuss the running of the House.  The House Council which has a representative from each year group and is chaired by a Year 13 member of the House also meets fortnightly to discuss House matters.

Registration each morning at 8.15 and each afternoon at 2.00 is run by the Housemaster with a student in each year group in charge of the group’s register.  A rota of members of the House play musical instruments at the beginning of House assembly each week.

We are fortunate that we meet in the four adjoining rooms in the Horsley Block where we also have a locker room.  All the House lockers are either in this room or in the lobby of the Horsley Block.  The locker room is fitted with a security lock so that boys can leave their bags and games kit there.
