School Houses

  

 

Our houses are five values that make a person strong, written in Latin.

Each one represents an aspect of character that we encourage our students to develop at Heath Lane. 

• ALL STUDENTS WILL BE ISSUED WITH A HOUSE BADGE - you need to wear this badge on your blazer lapel. ​
