Head of House: Mrs Neal (Mrs Higgins for maternity cover)
“I am so proud to be Head of House Austen! I trust that each and every member of my team (both pupils and staff) will lead us to victory with all their help and support.
In House Austen we value friendship, enthusiasm and teamwork. We carry ourselves with dignity and respect for other Houses. Above all, we believe it is the taking part that counts. Unless we win. Then it’s all about winning.” Mrs Neal
“I am very excited about looking after House Austen this year. House Austen values friendship, enthusiasm and teamwork and I hope to see lots of it in the coming year! Just as Jane Austen inspired many with her legacy, I am sure all House Austen staff and pupils will look to inspire and help each other to reach our personal and House goals!” Mrs Higgins
House Captain: Aliya Nawaz
“Being vice-captain and now captain of House Austen has given me the privilege of seeing us work as a team to achieve a common goal despite the difficult circumstances last year threw at us. The unity and dedication of our house has been an amazing opportunity to play a part in. I’m looking forward to diving right back in this year and going for the win!”
