Daviesites

Daviesites is a loving and sharing House; the people of the House are always willing to help others when their support is needed, they are kind and helpful and they are ready to fight for Daviesites in any sort of competition (from waterpolo to chess) no matter what. In addition to all that, Daviesites seems to be one big family. When I look at other Houses I feel none of them can quite match us for family spirit. It makes me feel proud to be a Daviesite.

Year 11 Pupil

Daviesites is the most inclusive House and the atmosphere is very natural. The boys in each of the years are welcoming and friendly which makes it very easy for everyone to settle in. The studies and common rooms used by the pupils make it easy to bond with everyone from the outset; not to mention the different opportunities we have to wind down after studying hard during the week. Daviesites is a House where all feel settled and at home in an environment where people get involved in different activities and enjoy themselves.

In terms of location you could not ask for anything more. Daviesites is fittingly ‘an anchor’ House, arguably being the best situated House in the School. It sits just a cricket pitch away from the picturesque towered buildings of the main School; gifting us with stunning views. It is located next to the Ben Travis Theatre with its garden backing onto the football pitches.

Although we are so closely located next to the football pitches, we do not have a shining cabinet of sporting trophies to boast. Wherever we do place in House competitions, our House spirit wins through every match. We are gifted with plenty of support inside House too, ranging from a sound group of tutors to pupils that live amongst us in the House; encouraging each other on the playing field or in the classroom is something that we hold very important as Daviesites.

Personally, however, the most valuable part of being a Daviesites is the sense of ‘togetherness’ as much as our successes as a House. I have made friendships with the people I live with that I know I will hold dear all my life. So, when I leave Charterhouse, I look forward to celebrating future successes together as we move onto university, careers and adult life.

Year 13 Pupil

Pupils contribute exceptionally well to their boarding houses and to the School. They actively support one another, recognising individual differences and needs. Older pupils take on leadership conscientiously, contributing to their preparation for later life as responsible citizens. Senior pupils take on roles as peer mentors in their House, and support younger pupils extremely well in their duties.
