Our School Houses

We have 4 houses:

Peake

Dekker

Attenborough

Akita

House Captains

Our House Captains are excellent role models to others and encourage their peers to follow our school principles: Ready. Safe. Kind. as well as our school Values, for which they will receive house points for their team. 

Peake: Jake and Rosie

Attenborough: Charlie and Bruna

Dekker: Esmae and Ollie 

Akita: Layla and Ruairi

Children from all classes are grouped into the four houses, and work together as a team to collect house points. Children can earn house points for displaying the school values in all that they do.

Each week, the House Captains total up all the house points and the House Cup it is awarded to the winning House in our Friday Celebration Assembly!

The 4 houses are based around the idea of navigation and the Year 6 children were tasked to research and present to the rest of the school modern-day Discoverers of the world, the sea, the mountains and space. They presented their person to the rest of the school who then voted in their new House name. The winners were:

Peake

Dekker 

Named after Laura Dekker

Attenborough

Akita 

Named after Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Akita

First Nepali woman to reach the summit of K2 and has worked actively to provide relief in the aftermath of the April 2015 earthquake in Nepal. She explains, “I am not educating girls so they can be mountaineers. Once a woman has an education, she can be whatever she wants. I want to support what women want to become."
