The School Houses
The school houses take their names from the main school benefactors, John Fereby (blue), Sir Baptist Hicks (red) and George Townsend (green). The house system is fiercely competitive in both academic and sporting activities. Students and staff, past and present, take their house allegiance very seriously with the three houses constantly vying for the prestige of winning the house cup at the end of each academic year – a tradition that dates back to the very early years of the School.
House points are awarded both for academic success and endeavour as well as for specific house competitions. You can see the current house point scores on our home page. These are updated after each major competition.
Events and competitions take place over the academic year. Click here to view the current house events calendar.
Heads of House Biographies
Head of Fereby
Miss Howells-Smith
In 2019 I studied Geography at the University of Birmingham and completed my PGCE with GITEP in 2022. I am studying for a Master’s in Education at the University of Bristol. In 2023 I began my teaching career, as a teacher of Geography at Chipping Campden School.
I feel privileged to have the opportunity to be Head of Fereby. I feel passionate about ensuring the house system is as effective and inclusive as possible, giving all students the chance to represent their house and experience success outside of lessons. My favourite house events include the wide variety of competitions from penalty shoot outs and bake offs, to the Big House Quiz.
I have loved my previous adventures to Morocco and Southeast Asia, climbing mountains and volunteering in rural communities. At university I discovered Lifesaving and have enjoyed sharing this fun and important sport with our students.
Head of Hicks
Mr Gullis
I personally came into the Chipping Campden School community in 2020 as a trainee Teacher of PE and instantly felt the unique sense of History and belonging. Having made the move back home after a 3 year stay in London working in the Healthcare system, I decided to train on the GITEP teacher training programme. My background is in Sports and Exercise Science, graduating in 2017 from Loughborough University. This lead to roles working in professional football, our Healthcare system and the corporate world.
I am looking forward to seeing and celebrating our students’ achievements over the coming years.
