House points

Children are also awarded house points for good work and effort. Children keep their individual house point totals with stickers on a poster on display in the classroom. When a child has collected a given total, they are rewarded with a pin badge.

Every child also belongs to a House Team, and they can earn house points that feed into the collective total for their team (Priory, Abbey, Manor, and Shenstone). These are collated each week by our house captains and the winning house is announced in whole school assembly and displayed in the hall.
