The House System
Hadleigh High School uses a house system. There are six houses with a form in each year representing one of the houses. The houses are all named after individuals who have a connection to Hadleigh and the local area. The houses are as follows:

Hadleigh’s house system is designed to develop a sense of community along with encouraging competition. Student's will be able to earn House points individually, as part of a form, or when representing the school. House points will be tallied up across the year with the House Cup being presented in the whole school assembly on the last day of term.
