  • Whittlebury

    Whittlebury House is striving to achieve a cohesive community who will endeavour to be taught, learn and be curious about the wider community and School Ethos. Our House supports a local charity and also a national charity. With this in mind, we want to; not only raise money but awareness among our students and local community. Everything we strive for is to achieve our motto ‘In Whittlebury We Win!’ Team spirit is our ethos and nobody stands alone. Throughout our launch year, we entered all the competitions across the year groups and this year, all students will take part in at least one competition; supporting each other throughout. We are the best! As a House we have won several competitions this year and also the coveted Sports day overall winners; with two of our year groups also coming in first place. We are immensely proud and all the effort our House teams have put into achieving their own goals. This year will be the best yet. So let’s do this Whittlebury and remember In Whittlebury We Win!

  • Claydon

    Claydon House stands for dedication, hard work, glory and passion. With these key components we are destined for greatness! We strive to be the best versions of ourselves by promoting and embedding the School Virtues in everything we do. In Claydon House, we wear a white House tie, wear our uniform with pride and try hard every day to ensure the highest standards are met, earning House points for our team along the way!  Our short term goal is to gain as many House points through lessons, competitions and extra curricular activities as we can, meaning we can work towards our longer term goal…to WIN the House Cup! How amazing it will be to see the House Cup stood in all its glory wearing the ribbons of white around its handles and representing all the greatness of Claydon House.  Let’s hope we see you wearing the famous white tie when you embark on your journey with The Buckingham School. We are affiliated with two wonderful charities chosen by students in Claydon; Cancer Research UK and Florence Nightingale Hospice.

  • Chandos

    In Chandos House we embody the spirit of the School Virtues and strive to be the best, challenging ourselves on a daily basis and never giving up. Above all, as a House Leader, I ensure that whatever we do, it is with decorum and the upmost respect. We aim to perform the best we can in and outside of the classroom, as every positive point adds to the total number of our House points.  Our first year as a House has brought many successes, whether that be competing in individual House competitions, progress in the classroom or outside of school, we have created an atmosphere that allows students to flourish. In the first year of the new House system, Chandos House won the House Cup.  Stand by and represent what the House stands for: Belong, Believe, Achieve.

  • Silverstone

    This year Silverstone House will continue to strive to do our best in competitions, working together to utilise all of our talents. We will also endeavour to try our best in lessons and in the wider community of the school and for our charities. Silverstone is the House that YOU want to be in. Last year, students did fantastically well in competitions. Silverstone came first in "Buckingham's Got Talent", in the Science competition, the MFL competition and the Maths competition. Students worked together and played to their strengths. All students bring something unique to our House. What we need to work now is demanding deserved House points for hard work in lessons and for all the extra-curricular activities that we do. One of our mottos is "Respect, Perseverance and Integrity" and we are certainly going to persevere this year to drive up the leader board together as the best team. Silverstone House has chosen to support two charities with important causes. 'Centrepoint' is a charity which supports young homeless people and 'Brain Tumour Research' fundraises for research into a cancer which proportionally affects more young people than any other cancer. Throughout the year, each form will be fundraising for these life-changing charities.

Last year, we came 2nd overall and did fantastically well in sporting events and in House points. This year, Stowe House will strive to win more competitions and be the House Winners of 2020.
