Before amalgamation, does anyone remember that the school was divided into four "houses". I was in Newton which had a green badge and I remember Faraday with yellow badges. I cannot remember what the other two houses were other than they were named after scientists, can anyone remind me?. After amalgamation was this continued?

I thought I'd found an old photo (pre-amalgamation) but the square to the left of the entrance mentions both schools. I'm not sure if that has been photoshopped in.
