oh my god im laughing because apparently so many people not familiar with the british education system think that the whole school houses thing was a made up thing in harry potter?? like no we actually have those

Ours were named after local Welsh rivers. I was in Hafren, which is the killy one.

Ours were called “Eilian, Elidir, Eryri and Gwyrfai,” so now that I think about it, I haven’t the foggiest idea what the theme was for that.

I was Eilian, in any case.  People used to call us “the clever house” to make us feel better for always losing the sports events.

I was in Maelog and both my siblings were in Crigyll, but it was never really relevant until Sports Day when I’d KICK CRIGYLL’S ASS

I was in Raglan because ours were named after famous Welsh castles and we always beat Conwy because they were wimpy losers and Conwy is a shit castle anyway probably and also my twin sister was in Conwy. Posers.

can a trustworthy brit confirm or deny this i feel like im being hornswoggled

Hello I am a trustworthy Brit who just confirmed this

You are welc

omg …
i’m in Aus and we don’t have houses but we have colours or gemstones (?? yeah idk) I was in diamond when i was a kid we sucked at everything

Nah we do have them in Australia. I can’t remember what they where in primary school but in high school they were stanly,scot, weinsmith and Gleason.

Also Australian, and can confirm that we often (but not always) have school houses. In my primary school, there were two – Scott and Kendall – and in my high school, there were four: Araluen, Corrumben, Narrara and Warrigal.

We had nine houses

Went to a British School and we also did have houses (even tho im in Argentina lmao), they were called after brit castles and had colors assigned to them. Dover (red), Balmoral (green), Windsor (blue) and my house, Nottingham (yellow). We were by far the worst house and came last every year on Sports Day 🤷‍♀️

Had houses in both my primary and secondary schools. In my primary school, there were the Saxons, Vikings, Greeks and Romans. Appropriately, the Greeks had nearly all the clever people and the Vikings were often good at sport. I was a Saxon and we weren’t good at anything in particular.

In my secondary school, the houses were named after local manor houses, but I can only remember Breamer and Heale.

Ours were named after trees. There was Linden (green), Maple (red), Beech (yellow) and… another one that was blue. As you can see, it taught me plenty about trees

Our houses had corresponding primary colours too! *lol* Greeks were green, Romans were red, the Saxons were blue and the Vikings yellow.

I wonder why schools stick with yellow/blue/red/green? We need to mix it up and introduce an orange/turquoise/purple/pink system
