We understand the importance of celebrating important dates in the calendar, bringing shape to the year and giving students events to look forward to and get involved in. Along with celebrating cultural festivals we mark academic milestones, and celebrate achievements, and host regular all-school assemblies.

This allows collaboration between different age groups and ensures that students get to know other children outside of their year group. Each house has a House Captain chosen annually, an opportunity to learn about leadership from a young age.
The four houses at Coruña School are:
