==Operation== |
||
The school was named after the eleventh-century rebel leader, [[Hereward the Wake]]. All four school houses, one of which each boy is allocated to, are named after ethnic groups from his time period: the [[Angles (tribe)|Angles]], [[Danes]], [[Normans]] and [[Saxons]] As is customary in most preparatory schools, competition exists between the houses, in sports and academic life.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/schools/hereward-house-school-london#review|title=Hereward House School GSG Review|last=|first=|date=|website=The Good Schools Guide|language=en-gb|url-access=subscription|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-10-06}}</ref> |
|||
=== Houses === |
|||
Each boy is allocated to a house, [[Angles]], [[Danes]], [[Normans]] and [[Saxons]] (all based on ethnic groups that ruled [[Great Britain|Britain]] at some time). As is customary in most preparatory schools, competition exists between the houses, including House [[cricket]], [[football (soccer)|football]], [[dodgeball]] and a [[sports day]]. Boys have the opportunity to earn "House Points". These can be earned in many ways, from good pieces of work, to helping a teacher. At the end of every half-term, the deputy head shows the boys a presentation outlining which house earned the most house points during that half-term and how much each house need to earn to be in first place.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/schools/hereward-house-school-london#review|title=Hereward House School GSG Review|last=|first=|date=|website=The Good Schools Guide|language=en-gb|url-access=subscription|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-10-06}}</ref> |

All boys of all ages have to wear the school uniform, which is composed of mostly grey and black clothing, accompanied by the distinctive white and blue striped tie, and the [[fleur-de-lis]] embroidered blazer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uniform4kids.com/collections/hereward-house-school|title=Hereward House Uniform|last=|first=|date=|website=Uniform for Kids|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190923180904/https://www.uniform4kids.com/collections/hereward-house-school|archive-date=23 September 2019|access-date=23 September 2019}}</ref> This uniform differentiates the pupils from those of the other preparatory schools in the area. |
|||
=== Roles === |
|||
The school can award ten roles to boys, though each boy may only have a maximum of two. Most of these are awarded to CE1s and CE2s following a class questionnaire where the boys vote for who they would like for a certain role and then an interview. Other roles can be awarded only by interviews, such as the [[Editor|Magazine Editor]] badge. The current roles are: |
|||
* [[Prefect]]s; Boys with this role come in early to greet arriving boys and help [[teacher]]s with general tasks around the school (such as setting up [[School assembly|assembly]] or taking parents on tours). |
|||
* [[Librarian]] and the [[Library]] [[SWAT]] Team; the Librarian is the head of the Library SWAT Team. The SWAT team helps to clean up the library and keep in order during [[reading]] period. To join the SWAT team it is necessary to write a letter to the Head of English and then "shadow" a member. |
|||
* The Head of the Junior School and Head of Middle school roles involve going to classrooms to help children and organizing [[Design and technology|DT Days]]. |
|||
* The Head of [[Music]] and Assistant Head of Music are two boys who invigilate music tasks around the school, including setting up the Grand Biennial Concert and picking singers for plays. |
|||
* The Head of The School Council and School Council Representative are roles in the Student Council where boys vote for things to be added to the school. The Head of The School Council is the person who decides what to add from the Class Representatives and then discusses it with the teacher. School Council Representatives are elected when a class writes down the boy they want as a representative on a ballot sheet. The boy with the most votes is elected. |
|||
* The [[Editor|Magazine Editor]] is a boy is chosen to edit the school's termly magazine ''The Hereward Hotshot''. The role is acquired following an interview with the deputy head. He will choose who he thinks is most fit for the role. Everyone else who was interviewed becomes a co-editor, helping take photos, writing articles and general reporting. |
|||
* In late 2019, the [[Charity (practice)|Charity Captain]] role was added. The boy who has this role is in charge of helping with charities in the school. This boy is responsible for donating money to charities and helping with fundraisers.{{Citation needed|date=November 2019}} |
