Franklin house is named after Benjamin Franklin, an extraordinary man who was an author, businessman, politician and inventor.
He invented the lightning rod which prevented buildings from burning if struck by lightning. He also established the first library and fire department in America, and helped write the American constitution, which sets out people’s basic rights.
Like Benjamin did, everyone in Franklin house is encouraged to get involved in their community and have a positive impact on those around them; whether that is in playing music, being a sports leader, or simply being a good friend.
Our vision is that all students in Franklin feel safe, do their best and make a positive impact on those around them.
We have a brilliant team of tutors who work together with students’ parents and carers to support students, as well as setting high expectations to enable students to do their absolute best.
Students’ achievements are celebrated in tutor times and assemblies, and the house council represent the views of their tutor groups, ensuring that staff and students work together to make Franklin House the best it can be.
