Thornton College was a family home to three noble families, Cavendish, Ingleton and Tyrell, before it became a school in 1917. It is these families which give their names to our School Houses.
When your daughter joins Thornton she will be assigned to one of these Houses. Each term we have Whole School House Assemblies. The Cavendish, Ingleton and Tyrell Houses offer opportunities for House Captaincy roles and combined age group fundraising and sports activities. There is healthy competition between these Houses with our Sports Days, an annual fixture in families’ diaries.
