Together  Everyone  Achieves  More

We have aTeam House Points System as one of our many ways of recognising positive behaviour choices and success at school. Every child is given a House to support on entry to school and they remain a member of this team throughout their time at school. The Houses are: Balmoral, Sandringham, Buckingham and Windsor. Our logo consists of crosses that are architectural features of all of these four Royal Houses.

House Captains are elected from year 6 children for each Team, and they have the important role of providing positive leadership to the children in their House. Various competitions and events are organised throughout the year and Team Points are awarded to the winning teams.

All members of staff can award points, and pupils can earn points for their House by:

• Playing Fairly
• Being Caring and Sharing in the Playground
• Showing Good Manners
• Being Helpful and Considerate
• Displaying a positive attitude to a specific task or school life in general
• Being Responsible
• Participating and representing the school in competitions and sport
• Competing on Sports Day
• Other achievements worthy of recognition

At Sparken Hill Academy the House Points system promotes:

• Individual and Collective responsibility
• Positive behaviour, thoughtfulness and respect
• Shared aims and goals
• Collaboration, teamwork and co-operation
• Positive attitude to school and others
• Effort and application
• Achievements and successes of all
• Participation in competitions and sport
• Growth in self esteem
• Integration

Team Captains collect all of the Team Points awarded from each class throughout each week and the total is announced in assembly. You can see the scores of each House Team on the Home Page of the Website.
