HOUSE TEAMS 

At Salisbury, our House System promotes the importance of working together as a TEAM. It reflects our school values and ethos, providing pupils with opportunities to participate in team events, celebrate achievements and develop important life skills, including teamwork, resilience, confidence and leadership.

Every pupil from Reception to Year 6 belongs to one of our four Houses: Mars, Neptune, Saturn or Jupiter, with siblings placed in the same House. Through competitions, tournaments and whole-school activities, pupils are encouraged to support one another, take pride in their achievements and work towards a common goal.

House Points, Rewards and Charities

House Dojo Points form part of our whole-school reward system, encouraging pupils of all ages to work together towards a shared goal. Points are awarded for demonstrating our school values, positive behaviour, effort and participation in House activities.

Points are totalled weekly and celebrated during Praise Assembly. At the end of each term, the winning House receives a collective reward such as a disco, movie afternoon, baking or sports activity.

Each House also supports a local chosen charity, raising money through fundraising activities and House tournaments. This encourages pupils to work together while developing kindness, compassion and a sense of responsibility towards others within our wider community.

House Captains and Vice-Captains

Each year, Year 5 pupils can apply to become House Vice-Captains, completing an application demonstrating their understanding of teamwork, leadership and how they would support and motivate others.

An election is held and the winning pupils represent their Houses for the academic year. Successful pupils work alongside Year 6 House Captains before progressing into the Captain role themselves in Year 6. This provides a two-year leadership pathway, allowing pupils to develop their confidence, responsibility and leadership skills.

Our Captains and Vice-Captains act as positive role models, with responsibilities including:

- Supporting House competitions, Sports Day and whole-school events.
- Sharing House results and celebrating achievements in assemblies.
- Promoting House charities and fundraising activities.
- Gathering pupil feedback and supporting House displays.
- Welcoming younger pupils and encouraging participation.

Through these opportunities and our House Team approach, pupils develop valuable life skills while making a positive contribution to school life.
