All members of our school community – pupils and staff – belong to a house..
Pupils belong to mentor groups by house, meeting their mentor every morning. We also hold regular assemblies, celebrating house news and achievements and highlighting opportunities.
There are four staff Heads of House whose role is to celebrate student achievements, promote opportunities, provide access to competitions and work to instill key values.
Recognising and Rewarding Achievement
Heads of House share a weekly internal house newsletter in Friday morning mentoring, which celebrates notable achievements of our pupils in and out of school.
It is important to us that pupils receive acknowledgement for their commitment and hard work. We encourage other pupils to celebrate the success stories of their peers and hope this will inspire their own personal examples of success.
We recognise that pupils are more than just what they achieve in school or in lessons – their experiences outside of school contribute to their personal development in a rich way, so it is important to us that this receives the recognition and celebration it deserves.
We encourage pupils and parents to share their achievements outside of school by telling or emailing your child’s mentor.
House Points
Pupils receive achievement points across lessons, mentoring and out of lessons, as well as for their achievements outside of school. These points, along with competition points culminate in a winning house, announced in the Summer end of year assembly. The winning house is awarded the Trevor Hayes House Trophy and members of the victorious house can join reward trips that run during the next academic year.
