Clipsham is a House where everyone is respected and treated as an individual and offers a home from home for about 70 day boys, aged between 13–17 years.
The House ethos, developed by the boys themselves, is based on three principles:
- Challenge yourself
- Respect each other
- Celebrate effort and success.
Together with my highly experienced Senior Tutor, Patrick Latham, and wider tutor team, we celebrate all the different talents and interests of our boys and support them in their endeavours.
Vital to the smooth running of the House is the student leadership team. Carefully selected after a formal application and interview, the Prefects and my Head of House co-ordinate much that goes on within the Clipshamite community. They are responsible for organising our House families and run the diverse social events and fundraising activities that take place throughout the year.
Opened in 1997, Clipsham is one of four Middle School Day Houses, which together form the part of the School campus known as Schanschieffs, and are all named after villages in the local area.

One of the highlights of the year is the Christmas social where the boys dress up in suits and dinner jackets and enjoy an evening of fine food and entertainment led by the Prefects!
