Houses

At Princes Risborough Primary School every child and every member of staff is a member of one of our four houses: Diamond, Emerald, Ruby or Sapphire.

Well done to everyone who took part in the house dodgeball tournament!

EVENTS FOR THE AUTUMN TERM

Next Wednesday (11^th Oct) we will be holding a conker throwing competition at lunchtime on the school field. Children who wish to take part must bring a conker into school which they will launch down the field - the House with the furthest throw wins! Mr Pearce and Mrs Jarman will be overseeing this event: they will ensure that all competitors behave with a spirit of fair play - and their decision is final!!  

We are also rebooting the House Coat of Arms and invite all children to design a new Coat of Arms for their house, which will be used for the next 2 academic years. Templates and rules are available from Class Teachers or can be found via the links below. The deadline for this competition is Tuesday 31^st October.  Good luck! 

In the run up to Christmas we will also be holding a House Song for Christmas event for KS2 children - more information to follow!

About the House System

Each house has its own Coat of Arms and House Values statement and is led by two Year 6 House Captains, voted for by the school, with support from staff House Captains.

Children can earn house points which go towards their house total - the house with the most house points at the end of each half-term wins themselves a mufti day. Examples of house point worthy behaviour can be found below:

Children also compete for their houses at sports day and other inter-house events organised throughout the year.
