The house system provides stability and the fact that the houses comprise of both Boarding and Day pupils means that all of the pupils in the houses interact in every area of school life. Day pupils benefit from the huge range of activities and superb facilities while Boarders can enjoy friendships that extend well beyond the school gates and into the local community.
There are six houses spread across the Christ College campus including:
Alway House:

Senior boarding and day houses for girls in Years 9 to 13. In 1985, after a long history as a successful boys' school, Christ College went co-educational in the Sixth Form and de Winton House was built with that purpose in mind. Then in 1995 the school started to take girls from the age of 11 and at that point de Winton changed its role, becoming home to girls from the age of 13 upwards.
Donaldson's House:
Senior boarding and day houses for girls in Years 9 to 13. In September 1998 Donaldson's became the second senior girls boarding house at Christ College. Completely refurbished to tailor the needs of the "new" inhabitants, Donaldson's provides a warm, comfortable environment in which to both work and play.
Orchard House:
Senior boarding and day houses for boys in Years 9 to 13. Orchard House is the smallest of the three senior boys boarding houses, and is located on the edge of the school campus, a few minutes’ walk from the main classroom block, the Sports Hall, and Dining Halls. There are around 45 boys in the house, predominantly boarders, and the accommodation is an eclectic mix of ancient and modern.
