This year marks 100 years since the death of Charles Henry Hodges, Shore\u2019s second Headmaster, and the man after which Hodges House was named.\u00a0 \u00a0Charles Hodges was a Shore Headmaster from 1901, serving the School for a decade before retiring due to health issues.\u00a0 \u00a0He played a vital role in the Shore\u2019s early success as a school, almost tripling the School\u2019s pupils in his first four years as Headmaster.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

In the lead up to 1919, amateur adult sport became scarce as men left to fight in WW1.\u00a0 \u00a0As a result, this led to the increase in GPS sports popularity, and students at Shore split into four sporting houses, School, Hodges, Barry, and Robson, named after Shore Housemasters.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Between 1906 and 1922, one-quarter of Shore students were boarders, which placed pressure on the only boarding house at the time, School, and the purchase of another Boarding House was made in 1926.\u00a0 \u00a0This House was named Hodges House after the sporting house established in 1919.\u00a0 \u00a0Only four years later, Hodges House was moved into its current position, in Sir Thomas Biggs\u2019 previous residence Elsmere.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1968, Hodges House was renovated and extended as part of the School\u2019s Trident Development Programme and became the house we know today.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
