Robinites

Just as notable as our friendliness is our popularity. Robinites is probably the most visited House in the School, with the top floor swarming with Year 12 pupils, spilling out of the common room and into the corridors, and  with our Year 9’s pizza evenings filling the first floor.

There are many scholars in our midst; academic, music, art and Peter Attenborough award winners. The Lack of Talent Variety Show is one of the most widely anticipated theatrical events in the School calendar, and without Robinite inspiration it wouldn’t be quite the same.

We’ve had victories in recent years, in House art, music, drama, sport, and even general knowledge competitions. Putting victories aside, when it comes down to it, Robinites is, and always will be, a friendly environment and the social centre of the School.

Our Head of House inspires the House with his energy and enthusiasm. Our House staff are always helpful and friendly and very much a part of Robinites.

Robinites is a great house with a brilliant Head of House in Mr Brinkley. In Robinites, we act as if we are a family. Once a Robinite always a Robinite! After 5 years in Robinites I can tell you one thing for sure and that is that we never fail to try.  We always get teams out to every event or competition, but we don’t care if we win. We just enjoy playing together as a team which I believe really helps create our family spirit. If you have never been in a boarding house it is hard to imagine, but having just left I feel I have just lost 50 brothers and I’m not sure any other House in Charterhouse has this kind of spirit.

As Head Monitor I can tell you that I feel Robinites is by far the greatest House in the School due to our chemistry.

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.
