Team Captains

Allocation of houses

The school is divided into four houses: - Diamond, Sapphire, Emerald and Ruby.  Children are allocated a house when they start in Early Years or when they join the school at a later stage.  Children of the same family will be allocated the same house - we do ensure that the number of children is fairly balanced between each house. Every child is encouraged to buy a PE t-shirt in the colour of their house team to wear in PE lessons, for Fit Friday and all team events.

Captains

Children move into their new classes for the last two weeks of the Summer term. During this time team captains from Year 6 are chosen by the Year 6 teachers. Lots of things are taken into consideration when selecting the team captains. The team captains wear a badge to show their position in the school. Captains are expected top:-

• Bring their House into assembly quietly and sensibly and monitor behaviour of all pupils at this time.
• Sit at the side of their house in Monday reward assembly or at the sides in any other assembly where children are sat in their classes.
• Be an example of exemplary behaviour and attitude.
• Earn house team points and encourage others to do so.
• Collect up the house points weekly.
• Help teachers to organise house team competitions.
• Propose and represent ideas for their house that will help the running of the school.

Please note captains whose behaviour or attitude is not a good example to others may be asked to stand down from the captaincy.
