Clevedon School, located in Clevedon, North Somerset, England, is a large secondary school with 1,224 pupils as of January 2012[update] in years 7 to 11 (Lower School) and 12 to 13 (Upper School or sixth form). The school recently regained its Language College status. As of 2016 the Head of school is Jim Smith and the Headteacher is John Wells. (Clevedon Learning Trust) The school became an academy in February 2012.
The house system which came into being in September 2006 consists of four houses: Conygar (red), Marine (blue), Valley (green) and Walton (yellow). All pupils and most staff belong to one of the four houses. Siblings always belong to the same house and parents and their sons and/or daughters are also invariably placed in the same house. Most of the sports in the school are now house competitions, ranging from rugby tournaments to Clevedon Staff has Talent, and the staff cross-country run.
In September 2008, a new uniform consisting of a blazer, shirt and tie, was introduced to replace the previous polo shirt and sweatshirt, and is now worn by all pupils excluding the sixth form. It is designed to identify them as members of their respective houses.
Formerly the house system had also divided the pupils and teachers into four houses which were named after famous Clevedon residents and visitors: Arthur Hallam (red), William Makepeace Thackeray (green), Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson (blue) & Samuel Taylor Coleridge (yellow).
Each house consists of ten tutor groups (Main school) and a further two tutor groups in the Upper School - Sixth Form). Each main school TG has a mixture of age groups, e.g. 5 YR 7 pupils, 5 Yr 8s and so on up to Yr 11s.
There were in 2006 two groups of Pupil Ambassadors. There were approximately 45 Year 11 Pupil Ambassadors and 28 Senior Pupil Ambassadors, from the Upper School, i.e. Years 12 and 13.
