In 2008 the "Key Stage" system was changed to the Vertical System, where instead of year groups, there are houses with ten forms to each house. Each form has a varied number of pupils from Y7-11 and no sixth formers. There are 2 classes of around 30 in each house, so 8 classes. Forms 1–5 are a class and forms 6–10 are a class. This only applies to most classes in Y7 and Y8. This system is meant to reduce bullying and encourage friendships with pupils of different ages. The four houses are named after the main four theatres in Sheffield: [[Crucible Theatre|Crucible]], [[Lyceum Theatre (Sheffield)|Lyceum]], Merlin and Montgomery.{{cite web |title=Forms & Houses : Our School |url=https://highstorrs.co.uk/our-school/forms-and-houses |website=highstorrs.co.uk |access-date=9 June 2020}}
