Meet our House Team
At Rosebery School, every student is allocated a house depending on what form group they are in. These houses are overseen by our House Deputy Head Girls and each term students are able to take part in at least two house events to earn merits for their houses. On this page you can also find out more about the inspiring women our houses are named after.
Nishelli
Deputy Head Girl, Elizabeth
I applied for the SPT because I want to be able to promote a positive, united community for students to immerse themselves in. But to also give back to the wonderful Rosebery community for the support that I have been given. My role is to support and represent students from all years, ensuring that our house not only thrives in competition but also fosters a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. My vision is to raise house spirit whilst encouraging students to embody Queen Elizabeth’s core values, from charity all the way to leadership. I want to help create new exciting opportunities and ensure that we carry pride in our achievements!
Rose
Deputy Head Girl, Malala
Hi my name is Rose and I am so excited to be taking on the role of Deputy head girl and Head of house of Malala. I can’t wait to bring my many ideas to life and keep bringing the Rosebery community together while making everyone excited about house spirit. I have loved my experience here at Rosebery since year 7 and love the fact I have an opportunity to contribute in the Rosebery community and give back to Rosebery.
Mubeen
Deputy Head Girl, Pankhurst
I am very excited to take on this SPT role to give back to Rosebery and improve the less focused on house system. My vision for the future of Rosebery is make sure students feel more motivated and confident to take part in house games but also to feel more competitive to win for their houses. Ultimately, the Pankhurst team will endeavour to make sure that everyone is involved by developing new competitions that you feel excited to take part in.
Our Houses
Elizabeth House
Elizabeth House is named after Queen Elizabeth II who ruled for longer than any other monarch in British history, becoming a much loved and respected figure across the globe. Her extraordinary reign saw her travel more widely than any other monarch, undertaking many historic overseas visits. She reigned through major political changes and a global pandemic. Known for her sense of duty and her devotion to a life of service, she was an important figurehead for the UK and the Commonwealth during times of enormous social change.
Curie House
Curie House is named after Marie Curie who was a physicist, chemist and pioneer in the study of radiation. During her life, she won two Nobel Prizes and is most famously known for her discovery of radium and polonium, as well as her huge contribution to finding treatments for cancer.
Malala House
Malala House is named after Malala Yousafzai, an activist for girls' education. Malala was shot in October 2012 after speaking out publicly on behalf of girls and their right to learn. Malala was treated in hospital in Birmingham and finished her education in Britain. She went on to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University before graduating in 2020. She has won a Nobel Peace Prize and continues to campaign for the right of all girls to be educated.
Pankhurst House
Pankhurst House is named after Emmeline Pankhurst who was an English political activist best remembered for organising the suffragette movement and helping women to get the vote. Pankhurst was named as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century by TIME magazine, stating that "she shaped an idea of objects for our time" and "shook society into a new pattern from which there could be no going back". She was widely criticised for her militant tactics, but her work is recognised as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in the United Kingdom.
