Shelley Houses
Our houses have been named after poets; keeping the spirit of our school being named after a poet. Children are in the same houses as their colour teams we have previously used for sports days. We have chosen the poets after much consideration. Some are just plain funny whereas others focus on really topical issues.

Children in Year 6 are offered this leadership opportunity. Each house has a captain and a vice captain who is elected following application which includes a fair shortlisting process follow and presentation about why they would make a good house captain / vice captain. House Captains wear different coloured jumpers to the rest of the children in the school (linked to their house team colour), so they are visible leaders.
House Captains and vice House Captains:
- Are role models for our school, demonstrating our school values of aspiration, respect and togetherness.
- Uphold our school learning behaviours at all times (resilience, independence, Co-operation, focus and curiosity).
- Support staff who conduct school assemblies.
- Carry out corridor duties at lunch time to ensure calmer lunch times.
- Count house points and share scores with their houses.
- Conduct tours for job candidates, under the guidance of SLT.
- Are part of an interview process at times.
