The House System at Shirebrook Academy is designed to support the building of a strong sense of community and belonging as well as promoting competition, teamwork and fun.  It enables all of our students to be a part of a collective where they work together and receive praise and recognition for their efforts.

All of our students are members of one of three houses: Thornbridge, Hardwick or Chatsworth.  The houses have historical links in our local area and students have opportunities to visit the houses during fieldtrips, extra-curricular activities and/or reward events.
