Houses
Each pupil is placed in one of the five houses when they join the school and this continues throughout their career at Adeyfield. There are a number of opportunities for pupils to participate in a wide range inter-house activities and competitions (there are at least 2 house competitions every half term). More information about house competitions can be found by clicking on the links on the left of this screen. There are also positions of responsibility for the students to fill. Each form has a "house captain" and a "sports captain". The houses are Aldbury, Batchwood, Leavesden, Shenley and Westbrooke.
