House Parr
Lily Parr was a footballing legend and the first woman to be inducted in to the English football hall of fame. She was an icon on and off the pitch.
“In 1920 a local newspaper wrote about this talented 14 year old: “There is probably no greater football prodigy in the whole country. Not only has she speed and excellent ball control, but her admirable physique enables her to brush off challenges from defenders who tackle her”.
Head of House: Miss Rollings
“I’m really excited to be the Head of House Parr and look forward to the year ahead. Lily Parr was an inspirational individual who stood up for her values which is something we all aspire to in House Parr. We should all aim to demonstrate the same excellent teamwork skills that Lily Parr did in her role as one of the first female footballers to be inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame.”
House Captain: Ananya Nambiar
“After moving up from Vice Captain to House Captain of Parr, not only am I very proud to be in a House with such enthusiastic and hardworking individuals, but also to have such an inspiration like Lily Parr as our role model. Her fight against social injustices and display of true perseverance lead her to go on to be considered as one of the country’s greatest players of her generation. I am confident that this year we can channel these qualities and win the House Cup!”
