The Mitre

The Mitre opened as a girl’s House five years ago, and with its new extension provides a home for 70 girls. The House enjoys a beautiful location with extensive private gardens including a large grassed area for the girls to rest and play.

The Mitre is a relaxed, friendly and lively place to live, with the emphasis on a family atmosphere – encouraging a unique house spirit found in all aspects of the House. The Mitre sees many successes in inter-House competitions and there are lots of Mitre girls in positions of responsibility throughout the School. The girls wear their House colours of navy and pink with pride and a sea of pink and blue shirts can always be seen at inter-House competitions.
