House System
Here you'll see pictures of our House Captains with their house mascot and a picture of the hotly contested "Tree" trophy awarded to the house with the highest points at the end of each year.
Pupils are assigned to one of four houses, named after trees that are found in our school grounds. Houses have their own house master, teachers and learning support assistants. Two house captains, a boy and a girl, are elected by the pupils.
Each house is represented by a colour
Chestnut – Red
Oak – Blue
Spruce – Green
Sycamore – Yellow
On competition days children wear a T-shirt in the colour of their house.
During the year pupils compete for points which are awarded for achievements, and participation or performance in activities and challenges. The house with most points at the end of the year wins “The Tree.”
