Heanor Grammar School replied on: 11/9/2007 7:37:22 PM In 1965 The Heanorian refers to House competitions in at least soccer, cricket and athletics, with Ray, Howitt and Flamstead being mentioned. One year later, in 1966, The Heanorian states, on pg.38, "With the abolition of the house system within the school, competition on Sports Day was organised on an inter-form basis." Page 36 adds more detail. "This year 3A and 4F joined tgether to make the "A" junior team, 3B and 4H the "B" team and 3 Beta and 4F the "C" team. (It is reasonable to suppose that 4R members were not absent and that a typing error was responsible 4F appearing twice)! This also shows the 3rd forms organised as 3A, 3B, and 3Beta with the old House initials being used distinguish the 4th forms. Page 33 of The Heanorian for 1967, under the heading "Athletics", is written "Competition on Sports Day 24th May was organised on the old House basis." This suggests that, at least as far as sport was concerned, Houses only disappeared for that one year of 1966. By 1971 there is reference to Mundy House in The Heanorian. I have no idea at what point this House was created or what colour it adopted.
