Riding’s was opened as a Day House in 1991. It replaced “School House – Odds”, which was the first House in the school when Aldenham was a smaller and entirely boarding community.

	Our nearest neighbour, Leeman’s House, (sharing the same building) used to be “School House – Evens”. Riding’s takes its name from Mr George A. Riding, Headmaster of the school from 1933 to 1949. His legacy is seen in buildings such as the School Shop and Tuck Shop, the Chapel, some additional classrooms and the system of Houses and Praeposters. Two brass plaques mark his time at Aldenham, one on the way to the Chapel and one on Top Field, a section of which is named after him. His portrait also hangs in the Dining Hall.
Riding's House has had many successes. We have, during our short history, won virtually all of the major sporting competitions, the House music competition, the debating competition and the overall House Shield. We were the first House to have our own distinctive kit and the first House to have our own scarf.
	Day House, there is nobody who actually lives in the House. However, Mr Stephenson, the Housemaster, has a study and sitting room where boys can arrange to see him.
