House No. 6
Nichola Cage joined the College in September 2007 to take up the role of Housemistress of No. 6. Married to Mark, she has three children, James and Charlotte who are both at The Downs MCP, and Sophie, who was born in 2008 much to the delight of the extended boarding House family. The Cages’ enthusiastic Springer Spaniel, Bailey, completes the family.
Nichola enjoys boarding-house life enormously and encourages the happy and positive feeling that exists in No. 6. She believes that pupils here should try their best, try something new, and seize the opportunities that present themselves. No.6 has a strong family atmosphere and is a happy, friendly and supportive house where girls are encouraged to fulfil their potential.
Grand Car Wash
Friday 18. of June 2010
Nichola Cage and the girls of No.6 arranged a ‘Grand Car Wash’ to boost the funds of their continuing efforts to raise money for the Firemans’ Benevolent Fund.
Joining them in the car-washing endeavour were the firemen of the White Watch unit who were the first crew to attend the blaze at No.6 and who were very happy to help the cause.
A cheque for £1,000 was presented to Mark Forsbrook, a representative of the Fire Services, in Chapel on Monday.
Giving something back continued...

The girls of No.6, with their Housemistress, Nichola Cage at the helm, have a grand plan to raise funds for the Fire Services Benevolent Fund, to say \'thank you\' for the help that the service gave to the school when No.6 caught fire last month.
The first fund-raising event was a concert held in Big School where the girls demonstrated their considerable music talent. The concert was a great success and raised over £450 and this together with the sale of cakes brought the total to £532. Scarves are on sale to staff and more activities are planned to follow. A large car washing event will be held at school on the morning of Saturday 12th June, when the Fire Services will lend a hand to help publicise the girls\' efforts.
