Introduction
The Hall system fosters a great sense of belonging and identity amongst the school community. Hall assemblies, comprising all Hall members from Years 7-13 are held fortnightly. Every Hall holds fundraising events regularly throughout the year for their chosen charity. Hall Council meetings are held half termly which include Form Captain representatives from each form in their Hall. Each Faculty organises inter-Hall competitions during the year, culminating in the final Sports Day competition at the end of the school year when the overall winning Hall for the year is announced.
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.

The Arley Mascot
Arley has  been represented through the years by two mascots. Initially Aragon the Dragon spearheaded the Arley challenge. Recently their Orang-utan has symbolised Arley’s efforts although there is currently a growing move to revert back to the dragon.
Regardless of the mascot, Arley has met with considerable success in the various Hall competitions.
