Workman House

Why are we called Workman?

Henry Workman was Mayor of Evesham from 1851-1855 and built the Workman Bridge in 1856. The river below the site of the bridge was a maze of shallows and treacherous currents, so Henry Workman had it dredged into one channel and used the sediment from the river to create the Workman Gardens and public park.

He financially contributed to the school move from Merstow Green to its new site on Greenhill, which took place in 1879.

Your House Ambassadors and House Leaders

Your Workman House Ambassadors and House Leaders have a really important role within the school community. They represent you and are your voice for all things Prince Henry’s. It’s important to speak to these representatives with any ideas, concerns or queries. They will then represent you at the termly House and Diversity Council meetings, where all Ambassadors and leaders assemble to discuss various important topics and share your voice.

House Leaders from Year 12 take on further responsibilities of supporting the Head of House with running clubs as well as helping organise and lead House events. This is a great way for Leaders taking part in Gold D of E to work towards their Leadership Award.

Sports Captains

Your Workman Sports Captains support Heads of Houses with organising teams for their year groups’ Inter-House sport competitions. You will see these Captains throughout the year during form time, building the House teams to collectively strive for success. If you have any queries around PE/Sport at Prince Henry’s, your Captains can share your views at the termly Sports Captain meetings with Mr Thompson (Head of Physical Education).
