Scuffle Goes to School

“Do they have competitions, Scuffle? I like competitions – as long as I win acorns.” “Yes they do. Everyone in the Prep School is a proud member of a house and the houses compete against each other in things like music, general knowledge quizzes and lots of sports competitions.” “I know!” cried Twitch. “You could have Squirrels, Cats, Foxes, Birds and People. Squirrels would win everything.” “The houses are named after people who have played a part in the history of Solihull School. There’s Fetherston, Jago, Pole, Shenstone and Windsor. The children are sorted into houses when they start school.” “Tell me more, Scuffle, what else happens?” Edward Pole was the school’s first Headmaster in 1560, Barnaby Fetherston was the ‘Usher’ (Deputy Headmaster) from 1574 – 1612, William Shenstone and Richard Jago were past pupils and well known 18th Century poets and Windsor commemorates the visit of The Queen to The Chapel on the Warwick Road campus in 1962.
