House System at St Faith’s
Every child is placed in one of our four Houses. Each House is named after a Bishop of Winchester. Beaufort House – Red, De Blois House – Blue,
Fox House – Green and Wykeham House – Yellow. Siblings are placed in the same house.
House Points
House Points are separate from Achievement Points. House Points are given to those who display our school values and can be given by any member of staff. House Points do not count towards Achievement Certificates.
Weekly House Cup Competition
Every House Point and every Achievement Point earned by a child is entered into their House Collection Pot in their classroom in the form of a counter. The House Captains count the House counters every Thursday and bring the score to the Headteacher. The House with the highest number of points for the week is awarded the House Cup with the House ribbons in Achievement assembly and an announcement is made in the weekly newsletter.
Half termly House Cup Competition
The House Points for the half term are totalled up each week and the House with the most points for the half-term are rewarded with a non-uniform day.
