Kilvington’s four Houses

Our vibrant House system provides all Kilvington students with a constant reminder of our School's long and proud tradition of personal achievement.
By becoming a member of Kilvington's House system, each student has the chance to help write the next chapter of our School's sporting history.

Our House system offers a living connection with the past, as each of the four Houses is named after an important figure in Kilvington's past.

• Barrett House (red) is named after our School's founders, Caroline Barrett and her daughter Constance, who co-founded our School in 1923.
• Burman House (yellow) is named after Mr E S Burman, the Grandfather of four of Kilvington's first pupils. Along with Caroline and Constance Barrett, Mr Burman helped secure the Church of England Parish Hall as Kilvington's original location in 1923.
• Fethers House (blue) is named after Mrs Phyllis Fethers, who placed the original newspaper advertisement that Constance Barrett responded to in 1923. Her son, Mr Peter Fethers, was Kilvington's inaugural student.
• Fysh House (green) is named after Muriel Fysh, who took over from one of the founders of the School, Mrs Caroline Barrett, in 1934. She remained as Principal until 1943. During her tenure, Kilvington was located in Walsh Street, a block away from our current location in Leila Road, which Kilvington moved to in 1955.

By participating in our diverse sporting and extracurricular activities under their House banner, all Kilvington students represent a vital link with the past.
