[edit] House System
The school operates a house system throughout the year groups, with the junior and senior portions of the school competing separately. The houses are as follows: [4]
- Churchill
- Newton
- Shakespeare
Children are variously awarded house points for good behavior or achievement and have them taken away for misdemeanors.
[edit] Controversy
The school received criticism from parents in 2005 when the school was taken over by GEMS Education. Several protests by both teachers and pupils were made with anger mainly directed at the dismissal of school teachers and ultimatums given to parents regarding their children [5] [6]. Bury Lawn has also been at the centre of several pupil / teacher relationships which have hit national news[7] and drug related activity[8].
