Launch Guide

Launch Guide

This introductory guide helps school leaders understand how the House system fits together and how the resources in the Vault can be used across the school. It provides a simple overview of the key ideas behind the system and offers practical suggestions for introducing the Houses to pupils and staff.

Inside the guide you’ll find guidance on how many schools choose to begin their House journey — from explaining the Houses and their values, to creating displays, running assemblies, and celebrating House achievements throughout the year.

Rather than prescribing a fixed approach, the guide is designed to help schools adapt the system in a way that suits their own culture and routines, whether launching at the start of the academic year or introducing the Houses gradually during a term.

This collection is reserved exclusively for our member schools. Begin your journey today by selecting a four- or six-House foundation.
