House System

The House system is an integral part of our school community that creates competition, promotes good work and behaviour, encourages teamwork, provides opportunities to take on responsibilities and brings everyone in the school together. The names of the three houses are St Francis, St Cecilia and St Joan of Arc. The Year 6 House captains will work with the Head of House (staff member) to inspire and motivate the younger children to further the community spirit and work together to achieve the school aims.

Children know they can earn house points by:

·         Always trying their best

·         Achieving

·         Showing outstanding behaviour

·         Being polite

·         Showing kindness

The children in Key Stage 2 will have regular house meetings, collect house points, and gain certificates for good work/good behaviour etc.

·         25 house points – bronze certificate

·         50 house points – silver certificate

·         100 house points – gold certificate

·         150 house points – platinum certificate

These certificates will be awarded during the award assembly on Fridays.

Points will also be awarded to the Houses for their participation in House events such as House Music, House Netball, House Football, House Poetry, House Art, House Quiz, House Talent Show, House Cricket and Sports Day. 1st place will be awarded 100 points, 2nd place awarded 75 points and 3rd place awarded 50 points.

The winning House at the end of the year will win the House cup. House Captains are elected by the House at the end of the Summer Term.

A House board can be found on the ground floor area to celebrate the collection of points. The House programme is designed in such a way as to be inclusive and promote opportunities for all the pupils, recognising all strengths.
