- Every Hall arranges fundraising events for their designated charity.
- Meetings are held during the year, which include Form Captain representation offering insights to Student voice.

Every Student and member of staff belongs to one of five Cheshire Halls.
Every Hall is led by one of the Heads of Year.
Two Captains per Form are elected at the start of each academic year.
Arley Hall
Arley Hall is situated in the village of Arley, Cheshire, about 4 miles south of Lymm. It is home to the owner, Viscount Ashcroft and his family. The house is a Grade II* listed building, as is its adjacent chapel. Formal gardens to the southwest of the hall are also listed at Grade II* on the National Register of Parks and Gardens. In the grounds are more listed buildings.
The hall was built for Rowland Egerton-Warburton between 1832 and 1845, to replace an earlier house on the site. By the mid-20th century parts of the house were in poor condition and were demolished, to be replaced by five private homes in a matching architectural style.
The present gardens were created in the 1830s, and were developed during the 20th century. The house and its gardens have been open to the public since the 1960s, and have also been used as a film location. Stockley Farm, part of the Arley estate, is an additional visitor attraction for children and families.
The Head of Arley Hall is Miss Beck. She is a very proud Hall Leader and has a competitive streak, constantly encouraging her students and urging them on. Arley students can be identified by the bright red stripe in their tie and the Hall is a supporter of the Meningitis Trust Charity.
