School Houses & Points

At West Lodge we have four School Houses named after our Patron Saints:

St George's House - House Colour Red

St Andrew's House - House Colour Blue

St David's House - House Colour Yellow

St Patrick's House - House Colour Green

All pupils are allocated to one of the School Houses and are given a badge in their house colour, which they wear with pride! We have a reward system that recognises excellence in all areas of school life including behaviour, academic work, effort, manners and politeness or citizenship for example. Children may attain one or more stars or a whole House point, which are recorded on a classroom chart. For every five stars received the child receives one point for their School House.

At the end of each week the total points for each School House are added together and the total is advised to the serving Year 6 House Captains who announce during Friday's assembly the number of House points awarded during the preceding week. The Head Teacher then advises the whole school of the accumulative total for each House and at the end of each term a cup, dressed in ribbons of the appropriate House colour, is presented to the serving House Captain and then displayed in the school's trophy cabinet.

Each House has its own banner, which hangs in the School hall. These banners were originally designed and painted by the House members.
