Part of Houses
This series relates to Hodge Wing, the pupils and staff and the history of the building. The series focuses on the early years as a boys' house.
Hodge Wing was a Boys’ day house, for Lower and Middle School. It became a girls’ house in the Winter term 1975, until the Spring term 1980 when the girls moved to Rushebrookes. Then it was re-opened for a small number of Seventh form girls in 1986.
