Each House has its own identity and colours, with students wearing their House colour as part of their uniform; such as school ties or PE kit. There are lots of opportunities to work together as a House team with other students and compete in an open and friendly way.

Heads of House Breakfast – at the end of each term, if a required House point milestone has been reached, students are invited to the Heads of House Breakfast – an opportunity to be recognised for hard work and efforts and receive an edible treat!

Charity – each House selects a charity to fundraise for throughout the year. A week will be dedicated to each House to run cake stalls, challenges, sweet stands etc, and all money raised will be donated on behalf of the House to the chosen charity.

Overall Activities Shield – Heads of House run lots of fun competitions over the school year and points are awarded to the winning House teams. Points contribute to the overall Activities Shield which is presented at the end of each year to the winning House.

School Fete – On the last day of the school year in July, all tutor groups will create a stall on the top field to raise money for the House Rewards System. The more money raised, the bigger and better our rewards can be for the students.

AtL (Attitude to Learning) Reward – The aim for all students is to qualify for the ATL board. If students remain on the board all year, they will be invited to an ‘Inflatables Day’ on the top field – fun on bouncy castles, assault courses, bungee runs and various other activities!

Head of House Assemblies – House colours and certificates are awarded each term.

Encouraging Character Development

Students are encouraged to develop their self by completing activities and recording them in their House Record Card to collect points. They measure their progress supported by their Tutor against a criteria set out below:

Participation – take part in something including academic, extra-curricular, sporting or voluntary

Aspiration – be the best you can be to achieve your academic targets and  display excellent attitude to learning

Responsibility – take care of yourself and others, develop a sense of responsibility for yourself, your school and your wider community

Kindness – be friendly, generous and considerate. Show kindness to others with your positive actions for local and global impact

Activities and tasks can be completed independently, in lessons or extra-curricular activities, at home or in the wider community and contribute towards House points.
