The House Point System
The combined ideas of staff and children have resulted in a new house point system for the school. All children are split into the same 4 houses with new names based on Cathedrals and Central Halls: Canterbury (Yellow), Rochester (Red), Westminster (Green) and St. Pauls (Blue). Each house has a colour. Siblings are in the same house. New children to the school are assigned a house automatically and every P.E. lesson they wear a t-shirt in their house colours.
Whole School House Point Rewards System
House Points are awarded for:
Over the year, we will be hosting House days and half days, inter house sports events and other inter-house competitions.
House Captains
In Year Six, as part of the additional responsibilities given to the children we recognise responsibility in the roles of House Captains. These are very important role in school and the children have to apply to be given the opportunity, candidates will be presenting speeches to their houses and a vote will take place.
House Captains are expected to set an example to younger children, to embody the values that the school holds dear and to contribute to the wider community.
They help the younger children, both in the classroom and at playtimes. They play a pivotal role in special days and themed weeks, assisting the staff in their planned activities. They also help with school events such as sports day, coffee mornings and curriculum evenings. One of their favourite jobs is showing visitors around our wonderful school.
Each year we have eight House Captains. They lead our named Houses. This year they are:
St. Pauls Cathedral – TBC
Rochester Cathedral – TBC
Westminster Cathedral – TBC
Canterbury Cathedral – TBC
