House Captains

All pupils from Reception to Year 6 are allocated into one of our three Houses:

• Willow

On entering Year 6, pupils are chosen by class teachers for the role.

• Collect the House points from each classroom in readiness for the Celebration Collective Worship;

This leadership opportunity enables our pupils to further develop and embed our school values.
