Nelson

The House takes its name from indisputably the school’s most famous ON, Viscount Horatio Nelson, who left the school in 1767. After an illustrious career as nemesis to the French Fleet, by the time of his famous death at Trafalgar in 1805, Nelson was generally regarded at the time as the saviour of the nation. 

The House draws inspiration from the Nelson touch that aimed to take each individual’s strengths and weaknesses into account when attempting to mould a cohesive unit. The Head of House and their tutors endeavour to create an atmosphere of care and co-operation within the school and the wider community.
