Clifton College WebsiteHallward's HouseHallward’s House has now been open for almost five years and in that time the number of girls in the house has grown from 24 to now nearly 70. There is a vibrant, family atmosphere as you come in through our doors and it would not be unusual for you to see Upper Sixth curled up chatting to the 3rd form.
Everyone enjoys the company of others, regardless of age, and this helps to make Hallward’s a very happy house to belong to. We go on an annual trip to places such as Warwick Castle, Longleat, Cadbury World and Wookey which is always enjoyed by the staff and girls. There are theatre trips, bowling, skating and other activities on offer and the girls themselves run an Entertainments committee to ensure that there is always plenty going on. HistoryHallward’s was founded in September 2004 and was named after Bertram Hallward, who was Headmaster of Clifton College from 1939 to 1948. He believed strongly in co-education and went on to establish Nottingham University. The building was formerly occupied by the boys of Watsons House and it was fully refurbished in 2004 before becoming a day and boarding house for girls. House StrengthsThere are so many strengths and qualities on show here from music through to sport and from drama to academia. We encourage everyone to try new activities and opportunities and this helps their self esteem and confidence. There is a family ethos here which encourages the girls to care for one another and we have a really motivated 6th form group who ensure that everyone in the house is enjoying the breadth of education which Clifton offers. House ActivitiesEmphasis is placed on encouraging the girls to make the most of their opportunities across the school. Within the house there is always something to look forward to whether it be a quiz night in the House Hall, a film night with a takeaway or other exciting events which are regularly arranged. House MottoSi fidem in se habetis, mundum vobis erit = Believe in yourself and the world is yours House TripsThis year we have been to Warwick Castle. Other annual trips have included Cadbury World, Longleat and Wookey Hole and on to Cheddar for a cream tea. ContactHallward's House
