Our 4 houses at Challock are Robins, Goldfinches, Woodpeckers and Kingfishers.

When a pupil joins school, they are placed into one of these houses. If they have a brother or sister, they will also be in the same house.

House Points

Pupils work towards gaining house points through their work and good behaviour. Pupils have individual house point cards which they record 20 house points on. When full, they hand in their cards which are counted by our House Captains and added to the weekly totals for each house. Each week, the latest house point totals are shared with the school in Celebration Assembly and also on our website.

Individual pupils receive special house certificates when they reach 100, 200, 300 or even 400 house points across the course of an academic year.

Competitions

We run various Inter-house competitions including Sports (such as Netball, Football, Rugby, Hockey, Cross-Country and Sports Day, of which there are separate trophies to be won) and Art or Science related competitions. We have run an Inter-House Reading Challenge, a House "Bird Art" Competition and a 100-Word Writing Challenge. Our Sports Leaders also lead 100% events with each class (including our Tug-of-War) and support with PE sessions during break and lunchtimes throughout the year.

House Captains

Our House-Captains and Vice Captains are voted in by their house members at the start of each academic year, after nominating themselves and then delivering a speech or presentation. Our House Captains are tasked to:

• Motivate

Our Captains aim to inspire our fellow Challock pupils, whether to aim for more House Points, improve in a sport, take part in competitions or try new things!

• Congratulate

Our Captains recognise the success of others! They keep track of House Points, award certificates and share other successes with others in school assemblies and house meetings.

• Create

Our Captains are part of creating and organising events for others to take part and improve in, including the Interhouse Competitions above.

Our House Captains lead termly House meetings with all their house members. They are also expected to be ambassadors for the school, leading by example and being visible at events involving current and prospective parents.
