Clothworkers’ House

It is a great privilege to take educated teenagers to the doorstep of adulthood.

All Clothworkers are imbued with the spirit of togetherness. Life-long friendships are forged in the tutor rooms, characters fine-tuned to conquer the outside world, a sense of community prevails, of bold adolescents willing to give it a go. We breed confidence in the individual, rejoice in our diversity and pull together in adversity. Our House colour is blue. 

The House Community and Staff

Our motto is: ‘If in doubt, do it – especially if it brings joy to people.’ It is our unwavering belief that, at the inaugural re-construction of the vertical House system back in September 2011, the selectors chose a greater quantity of the finest talents in the School under one roof so as to pool together a master-race of talents from across the globe. It is no surprise to report that Clothworkers’ has become a cradle for future Heads of School. The list now includes more Heads of School and future Oxbridge candidates from Clothworkers’ than all of the other Houses put together: Hannah Bateman; Tom Brunger, Sophie McGannon; Lewis Burnham; Anton Evans and Anne-Lotte Lijesen.
