Welcome to our House System
At Risedale, we celebrate the success of our pupils who strive to achieve their BEST in all aspects of life. The House System creates a sense of community and promotes healthy competition among pupils and staff. It supports our pupils to develop as confident, resilient, compassionate and successful individuals as outlined in our 5 key ‘Pillars of Success’.
Pupils are organised into 4 houses and wear a tie in their House colour, generating a strong sense of identity and belonging. Our Houses are named after 4 inspiring British icons; each 'House Hero' has made a significant and long-lasting contribution to society and reflects the attributes we strive to instil in our young people at Risedale.
Our House System Vision:
- To offer new experiences and opportunities
- To take pride in our school and have personal aspirations
- To develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills
- To participate in healthy competition and build resilience
- To generate a sense of community, showing compassion for others through empathy and friendship
Stamps and House Points
Pupils are rewarded with stamps for exceptional work in the classroom, for taking part in inter-house competitions and extra-curricular activities, as well as contributing to the life of the school and wider community. Stamps totals will contribute towards house competitions throughout the academic year.
