School Houses - a history

In 2017, the whole school held a referendum about whether to change the names of the houses from colours to an alternative. For the Autumn term, the School Parliament was given the task of thinking of different ideas.  The whole community were also asked to provide inspiration and members of the staff, the Governing Body, the Church community and parents all contributed.  The School Parliament then chose a short list for the whole community to then vote for.  Ballot papers were sent out to the groups mentioned above and to every child.  The votes were then counted, and the decision made just before the New Year.

The children represent their houses at Sports Day and for themed days during the year, such as Spiritual Days. The children will wear their house colours during PE lessons.

Each house is named after a building in one of the three villages in our catchment area:

• Hall (red) – Six Mile Bottom Hall
• Manor (yellow) – Little Wilbraham Manor House
• Rectory (green) – The Old Rectory in Little Wilbraham
• Temple (blue) – Temple House in Great Wilbraham

Each house has an allocated teacher and a House Captain:

• Rectory – Mrs Leadbeter, House Ambassador – Tilly
• Temple – Miss Roberts-Taira, House Ambassador – Esme and Casper
• Manor – Mrs Chaudhry / Mr Turner, House Ambassador – Rory
• Hall – Miss Steley, House Ambassador - Jess
