Saunderites

The eclectic array of talent in Saunderites ensures that life in the House is never boring. With a plethora of academic scholars, outstanding sportsmen and gifted musicians and artists, the standards are inevitably high. This is not to say that it is an elitist House; first-timers are encouraged and fostered, while the facilities on offer ensure that there is always something to do even if you are not keen on mainstream activities.

Mrs Allen, our Head of House, is always approachable and has time for all members of Saunderites.  

The main focus, as in every educational environment, is naturally on academic work. The ample space in our rooms to put our books enables us to get on with the work in a relaxed and comfortable manner, and there are a host of computers available throughout the day for academic use. 

We are always striving to reach the final of any sporting competition, which we have done in several sports during the past few years. And even if you aren’t one of the best sportsmen in the House, there is always the more enjoyable ‘Colts’ or ‘Tics’ team to play in.

Our musicians have recently won the House Music Festival, which speaks volumes for the musical talent in Saunderites. We also performed very well in the House Art Competition, with excellent contributors from every year group

Year 13 pupil

Saunderites is one of the friendliest Houses at Charterhouse. Although boarding school will be unavoidably daunting to those coming here for the first time, the Head of House and all the pupils try to make the transition from prep school as easy as possible. With the entire House having undergone recent refurbishment, rooms are fitted with all the furniture and facilities we need, and the size of the rooms does not necessarily equate to the year you’re in. With a sociable atmosphere, Saunderites is a prominent House on all fronts, and I would thoroughly recommend it to you.

Year 12 pupil

Pupils’ social development is outstanding. They show admiration for the achievements of others, and understand the differing needs among their peers.
