The School Houses
As part of our Behaviour for Learning Policy, we always aim to 'raise the praise' and reward pupils for examples of good behaviours, teamwork and perseverance with tasks. We believe that this encourages others to seek the attention of adults through positive deeds. This means that when we see something good going on, we praise it. This could be good behaviour, following our School Code of Conduct, being polite and helpful or showing good learning.
We know that all the children can do these things and should be rewarded for them.
A large part of our rewards system is to award House Points.
Children are assigned to Houses (red, blue, green, yellow) and the whole school participates in the democratic process of electing House Captains from among our Year 6 children.
At the end of each ‘big’ term (Autumn, Spring, Summer) the House with the most house points will have a House treat.
We rename our houses regularly. This year, the School Council wanted to link our House names with the Compass Schools focus on sustainability. They thought it would be good to name the Houses after famous ecologists or environmentalists who have made a difference across the world. Once elected the House Captains were given the task of naming their House.
This year our four houses have been named after:
