Do they have these anymore? What were yours and which one were you in? Ours were Grenville, Drake, Frobisher and Raleigh - famous explorers and I was in Drake

We do at my school! Anderson (I'm in it), Gainsborough, Penrose and Rendell. And then at my old middle, we had Nelson (we ruled ), Constable, Anderson (named after the same person as the house I'm in at my high school) and Townshend.

Well, the middle school I went to had them. Don't know what they are now but while I was there, they had five, with highly original names: North South East West Central

My school technically didn't have them. But because it was a Performing Arts school, we were divided into Performing Arts groups..originally titled PA1, PA2, PA3 and PA4. I was in PA2. Did your school have Prefects? I was one!

The house Townshend in my Middle was named after a man who found turnips in Norfolk... And we were a Suffolk school!

Yeah we had prefects at high school. Simply everyone in Year 12 was one. There were five classes and we each had a different day to be prefects on. I was meant to be Tuesday, but then couldn't do it as we had a lunchtime class every other week (school double booked teacher with lower school : , then I'd be at chess club the rest of the time, so was forced to switch to Friday, just to make sure that I still did it.

Yus, in my school - Robert Smyth, Market Harborough, Leics, they are named after previous students who are kinda famous. Bragg - mine (William Bragg) Moseley Pickering Wartnaby Though Martin Johnson went there so he deserves one I think. The wikipedia site for my school is quite funny: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smyth_SchoolSome select quotes: The catchment area of the school covers both the town of Market Harborough itself and the surrounding South Leicestershire villages, primarily Kibworth, Fleckney (duck pond) (also featured in the film Deliverance), Great Glen, and the Langtons. [lol Fleckney being where I live!] Pam Hardy is Head of Sixth Form although she can also be found on a Scottish hillside predicting Macbeth's future. The School at this time houses some very notable and intelligent students such as Ben Malin and Christopher Wells. The school also houses such people as the legendary Ben James and Mr. Luhrs, the only teacher in the school to have a myspace. FACT! Moseley is of course the best house, as of voted by from all the lovely teachers and students. Forms meet daily and take part in activities such as organising assemblies and poking each other. The best poking is usually done to the younger year 10 students or any year 11s who have not yet hit puberty. Both sixth form and main school students have access to the Studyzone, which contains a library and small number of inferior computers. Main school students are not permitted to set foot in the 6th form centre but often do and get attacked. The atmosphere in the sixth form centre is relaxed... students are not allowed to run, play, talk, whisper or breathe. Or they will suffer the wrath of Ms Hardy. Currently the sixth form do not have to wear uniform. However girls are permitted to wear hot pants but boys are not allowed to wear anything less than full length trousers. Rumour has it that some of the boys decided to wear strap tops to prove a point and to play football in. These science labs put up with a lot of experiments, examples of these would be 'Barbie Burning', 'Germ Growing' and 'Pea Watching'. All of these experiments are considered safe by the National Authority Of Safety. Ben James is chuffing great! There are films dedicated in his honour: 28 days after the return of the night of the day of the dawn of the land of the resident dead Enter the crouching tiger Also in his honour a superb football team have been formed from members of Robert Smyth School, known as the Ben James Appreciation Society. They have just won the Harborough Leisure Centre six-a-side league. [1] The figure on the left hand side of the photo is none other than the legendary walrus of love sex God that is Ben James. Others pictured include:- Smid, JT, Paulo, Niall, Blando, Dom, Luke and A-Doggg. Hmmm probably only funny if you went there!

I can't remember what mine were at primary school. I think Pickering might have been one though. The colours were Green Red Blue Yellow And i was in the mighty Greens. We even had chants for the other colours Greens greens the bogey machines. Yellows yellows the big fat fellows. Reds reds, wet their beds, put their nappies on their heads. Blues blues, always lose. ;D ;D
