House System

At Red Rose we have 4 houses: Durham, Lambton, Lumley and Raby. The use of houses across school encourages a team ethos and allows children of all ages to have a common goal.  Every child, from reception to year 6, becomes a member of one of our four houses.  This lasts for the duration of their time at Red Rose.

At the start of the academic year, pupils within each house vote for a House Captain and Vice House captain from Y6.  It is the responsibility of the House captain and vice captain to oversee their team and encourage all members to display school values.  House assemblies are run throughout the year to inform pupils of house achievements and to provide support and encouragement.  At the end of each term, the house with the most points is awarded with a trophy and reward.

Our ‘house system’ is at the centre of our whole school reward system at Red Rose. A house point can only be awarded as a result of a child achieving one of the following:

 

  • A bronze, silver or gold award card.
  • A star in the rocket
  • A positive postcard
  • A Golden table certificate
  • An Accelerated Reader certificate
  • A Mathletics certificate
  • A Lexia certificate 

During whole school assembly on a Monday, house points are added to the totaliser for children receiving:

  • A positive postcard over the weekend
  • A golden table certificate from the Lunchtime supervisors for the previous week

During Celebration assembly on a Tuesday (KS2) or Wednesday (EYFS/KS1), house points are added to the totaliser for children receiving:

  • A Reward card certificate (Bronze, Silver or Gold)
  • A Star in the Rocket
  • An Accelerated Reader certificate
  • A Mathletics certificate
  • A Lexia certificate 

The house point totaliser is visible in the hall for children to see at all times.  At the end of each term, the points will be finalised and both the winning and runner up houses will be awarded the house cups.
