HOUSES

WHAT IS A HOUSE SYSTEM? The school is divided into teams called

'houses' and each student is allocated to one house.

Houses compete with one another through-out the school year, gaining house points for their teams total score.

WHY DOES BUXTON WANT A HOUSE SYSTEM? Create a friendly competition between

pupils encouraging you to take extra pride the day to day things that you do at school

Encourage pupils to attend extra curricular activities

Build bonds and friendships with pupils across all year groups

Develop a sense of belonging to something other than being a member of Buxton School
