My name is Michael Woodcock and I attended Stationers 1955 to 1962. I was assigned to Hodgeson House [Gray]. I remember Caxton was red and Meredith was green but I cannot remember the name of the fourth one that was blue. { old age has struck ! ! ] If somebody would be so kind and brighten my memory cells I would be very happy
One of my class mates was David Triesman and in my final year he was house captain and I was his deputy, or vice versa. I left Stationers and went to Battersea Cat, now University of Surrey, and emerged with a BSC in chemical engineering. During my stay at Stationers I took French and German to O level. What I learned here proved essential to my later career where it was necessary to speak French in Quebec Canada, northern China, France , Algeria, Zaire[now Republic du Congo] and German in an adjacent Canadian town called Sarnia. I write this to demonstrate to present day students that the teaching at Stationers often has a completely hidden value.
I would be grateful to anyone who can clear the fog!!

As others have said, Norton is you one you are looking for, I think. I was a member of staff at Stationers' from 1964 to 1983, and for a short time I was the teacher in charge of Norton house. I agree with you about the importance of learning foreign languages.
