The school is arranged into ten [[boarding house|houses]], with pupils living in separate house buildings, eating together as a house for lunch 6 days a week, and playing sport in inter-house competitions. Each house is named after a British saint. Boys houses are [[St Cuthbert]]'s, [[St Dunstan]]'s, [[Edward the Confessor|St Edward]]-[[Wilfrid]]'s (as of September 2018 became Junior House) which were originally two separate houses, [[Hugh of Lincoln (saint)|St Hugh]]'s, [[Saint John Fisher|St John]]'s, [[Oswald of Worcester|St Oswald]]'s, and [[Thomas More|St Thomas]]'s, and girls, [[St Aidan]]'s, [[St Bede]]'s and [[Saint Margaret Clitherow|St Margaret]]'s.

Some houses are paired into buildings named after people who have been instrumental in the school's history. Hume House building, named after Cardinal [[Basil Hume]], combines St Cuthbert and St Edward-Wilfrid houses. Nevill House building combines St Dunstan and St Oswald houses. Bolton House building was formerly St Edward and St Wilfrid houses before their merger in 2001. Fairfax House building combines St Margaret and St Hugh houses.
