Westminster School - Houses
The School is split into 11 Houses, some of which are 'day Houses' (and only admit day-pupils; those who go home after school), the others having a mix of day-pupils and boarders. The Houses are named after people connected to the house or school in various ways - mainly prominent Old Westminsters but also former Head Masters and House Masters. Grant's is the oldest house, not only of Westminster but of any public school.
Houses are a focus for pastoral care and social and sporting activities, as well as accommodation for boarders. All the day houses are mixed-sex, and all houses admit day girls, however only Busby's and Purcell's provide boarding accommodation for girls.
Day houses:
- Wren's
- Dryden's
- Hakluyt's
- Milne's (in Dean's Yard)
- Ashburnham (in Dean's Yard)
Boarding houses:
- Grant's
- Rigaud's
- Liddell's
- Busby's (mixed)
- Purcell's (girl boarders only: formerly Barton Street and originally a part of Dryden's)
There is also 'College', the House for the Queen's Scholars (all of whom board), but which has assigned to it some of the (non-boarding) girls who enter the School in the VIth form.
