Houses

Our house system builds real team spirit throughout the school, giving everyone a chance to contribute to something "bigger" involving all year groups...

It allows older children to take on a pastoral, caring role towards their younger house members, but encourages all children to support each other, creating a strong sense of responsibility, pride, achievement and belonging.

Everyone from Reception through to Year 6 belongs to one of our four houses: Ash, Beech, Oak and Willow. Any brothers or sisters at the school will always be in the same house. Each house has a teacher who is House Leader, a house captain from Year 6 and a vice captain from Year 5; together they provide positive leadership to others in their house. 

In September, at the beginning of the new school year, the old Year 5 vice-captains become the new Year 6 captains. Anyone who has moved up into Year 5 can then put themselves forward to be the new vice-captain for their house, and their house members then vote for the candidate they would like.

House captains should:

  • be a good example to others;
  • earn house points and encourage others to do so;
  • represent the house when collecting awards;
  • be somebody who others can turn to for advice.

Our house leaders and colours are: 

House Leader
ASH Mr Randall
BEECH Mr Scott
OAK Miss Watson
WILLOW Miss Moss

House points (pebbles) are awarded to everyone for a variety of reasons, for example:

  • good manners;
  • polite behaviour;
  • showing a caring attitude towards others;
  • being helpful in different situations;
  • taking part and being a good team player.

On sports day the houses compete against each other to win extra house points (pebbles) too.

House points are added up each week. On a Friday morning the house captains visit each year group classroom to collect the pebbles that have been awarded to their houses throughout the week.

At the end of each half term, the winning house receives an extra break in the afternoon and can come to school in non-uniform. 

(Remember that "stars" are given out for different reasons than house pebbles; they are given to reward a pupil's own work, effort and progress.)
