Any more to add from your schooldays I'm ashamed to say I don't know who/what my schools houses were named after or even remember the colours of the houses Birkenhead Institute

Atkin, Stitt, Tate Westminster, with two more houses of Cohen and Davies being added when the school changed to a High School in the 1970s, moving from its original site in Whetstone Lane to Tollemache Road.
Remis Velisque - "With Oars and Sails" which meant "With All Your Might" but the pupils pronounced the English as "With Whores and Sailors"
Bedford - Blue Highfield - Green Ravenswood - Red Stoneleigh - White
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
We don't do charity in Germany, we pay taxes. Charity is a failure of governments' responsibilities - Henning Wehn
Senior School houses were: School House, Bushell's, Davis's, Griffin's, Pearse's and Sloman's. All, I think, named after erstwhile incumbents of the headmaster's chair.
Davis's colour was green and I think Sloman's was yellow, but it's no use asking me about the rest as I'm colour blind!
