Home / Pupils / House Groups

House Groups

On arrival at the school, new pupils and staff are put into one of five house groups. Throughout the year both individuals and whole house teams can achieve house points. Every week points are awarded to individual pupils for a number of achievements. On a number of occasions throughout the year there are whole school events such as sports days and challenge days where houses compete as a team against other houses. Every house has a mixture of staff from across the school and pupils of all ages, allocation to a house is random.

You can see both individual and group houses points on the display in reception.
