The Grange Park Primary School House System is a structure where pupils are divided into groups, called "houses," for various activities and competitions. These houses foster a sense of community, teamwork, and healthy competition amongst pupils. Pupils are typically assigned to a house upon enrolment and remain in that house throughout their time in primary school. 

The key features of our primary school house system are:

• House Allocation:

Pupils are assigned to a house, often upon entering the school, and remain in that house throughout their primary school years. Siblings are assigned the same house.

• House Names and Colours:

Our houses are named after local Irish trees all found in Strickland’s Glen, and each house is associated with a specific colour. 

• House Points:

Pupils can earn house points for good work, positive behaviour, participation in school events, and other achievements. 

• Inter-House Competitions:

Houses compete against each other in various activities, such as sports days, academic challenges, and other school events. 

• Sense of Belonging:

The house system provides pupils with a sense of belonging and identity beyond their classroom. 

• Teamwork and Leadership:

Houses encourage teamwork, collaboration, and leadership skills amongst pupils, with older pupils often taking on leadership roles as house captains. 

• Positive Competition:

The house system fosters healthy competition, encouraging pupils to strive for excellence while also promoting sportsmanship and camaraderie. 

• Community Building:

The house system helps to build a strong sense of community within the school, connecting pupils from different year groups and fostering positive relationships between pupils and staff.
