"Head of House" teacher and a deputy. In 1974, houses were paired together with one "Head of House" for each pair and two deputies. The pairings were Campion & Ward, Fisher & Line and More & Owen. The "Head of House" role was later superseded by the "Head of Year". Additionally, there are two houses that do not bear the name of Catholic Saints nor colours: All-Saints and Southwell. These houses were introduced after 2013, primarily for administrative purposes, to allow for the expansion of the sixth form and are only used in the sixth form. In addition to school houses, for many years the form years were named. First year students were classified as "Discovery" Year students in recognition of their new status in the school. Second year was named "Exploration"; the third year was "Understanding"; the fourth year was "Preparation" – as they prepared for their examination years; and the fifth year was "Appreciation" – a somewhat arrogant statement that the students were appreciating all the school had done for them. The sixth form was named Lower and Upper Sixth years. The naming convention was abandoned in 2002.
