Our House System
We operate a House System in school. There are four houses; each student is assigned a house on entry to the school. Students with siblings will be given the same house as their older brothers and sisters to retain family links. The four house are Birch, Green Oak, Rowan and Yew. Students remain in their allocated house throughout their time in school.
Each house is led by a House Director and a House Leader; they are supported by a team of tutors. We aim to recognise each student as an individual and see the tutor as the most important link between home and school. Parents and carers are encouraged to make the tutor the first point of contact if they have any concerns, or if they wish to make the school aware of any issues that may affect their child's progress.
The members of each house meet as a group for an assembly and receive regular feedback on their progress. Rewards and some sanctions are issued to students through the House System. Each house has House Captains who are elected from the student body and assist with the running of assemblies and events. We value their assistance and support. We also run inter-house competitions and the winning house is holder of the House Cup for the following academic year.
Students like the House System and enjoy opportunities to represent their house whether it is as members of the House Council or as competitors in the House Challenges.
