Events and celebrations at Cambridge House

At Cambridge House, we believe in creating memorable events that nurture a strong sense of community, personal growth, and celebration. Our school calendar is filled with exciting, highly anticipated occasions that bring students, families, and staff together to mark important cultural traditions and academic milestones. 

One of the key highlights of the year is the Year 6 Graduation, a celebration of our students' achievements as they transition from Primary to Secondary School. Another significant event is the Year 13 Graduation, which recognises the dedication and academic success of our students as they conclude their secondary education and prepare for their next journey, whether that be higher education or a career path. 

Other events from our school community 

We also cherish several beloved traditions that strengthen our sense of community. The Christmas Fair is a festive highlight where families and staff come together for fun activities, performances, and fundraising. Paella Night invites parents and staff to join in a friendly cooking competition, fostering collaboration and community spirit.  A cornerstone of Valencian culture, Fallas is another special tradition at Cambridge House. Students engage with this vibrant local celebration by creating artistic displays, which culminate in the Fallas Bonfire, symbolising community spirit and the rich cultural heritage of the region. 

Finally, our school embraces a variety of international cultural events that reflect the diversity of our student body. These celebrations provide opportunities for students to explore and appreciate global traditions, promoting an inclusive atmosphere where different cultures are respected and celebrated.  

• Turia: Named after the Turia River, which runs through the heart of Valencia, this House represents strength, flow, and the connection between the past and present. 
• Calderona: Inspired by the Calderona Mountain Range, this House embodies resilience, unity, and the enduring beauty of the natural world, encouraging students to reach new heights and overcome challenges. 
• Albufera: Named after the Albufera Natural Park, a wetland reserve known for its biodiversity and tranquility, this House symbolizes harmony, balance, and the importance of environmental preservation. 
• Serrans: Named after the iconic Serranos Towers (Torres de Serranos), a historic gateway to the old city of Valencia, this House represents strength, resilience, and the aspiration to rise above challenges, just as the towers have stood as symbols of protection and endurance for centuries. 

Each student is assigned to one of these Houses, and throughout the school year, they earn points based on their participation, attitude, and success in various activities such as Sports Day, art competitions, culinary challenges, and ecological days. 

The House system provides a supportive environment for students to develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills, all while fostering a sense of belonging and pride in their House. It’s not only a way to encourage friendly competition but also a vehicle for personal growth and community involvement.
