Ross

House Leader: Mrs Berntsen

I am proud to be Head of Ross House and am passionate about supporting every student to thrive, both as individuals and as part of a team. I believe each student has unique strengths, and I am committed to helping them reach their full potential while building a strong sense of community within the House. I greatly value the enthusiasm, resilience and support that students show for one another in all aspects of school life. While success is always celebrated, I believe the true value lies in participation, teamwork and giving your best effort.

Sir James Clark Ross was a pioneering Royal Navy officer and explorer who dedicated his life to discovery. After years of Arctic exploration, he became a leading expert in Earth’s magnetism and discovered the North Magnetic Pole in 1831. In 1839, he led an important expedition to Antarctica, expanding knowledge of the world’s most remote regions. Ross showed remarkable resilience, curiosity and perseverance in some of the harshest conditions on Earth. His legacy inspires us to keep exploring, learning and pushing our limits.
