SWR School Houses

At Sir William Ramsay School, students are divided into seven Houses, that are named after Olympians who have helped to illustrate the school values: 

Dean House

Farah House

Holmes House

Redgrave House

Sanderson House

Simmonds House

Whitlock House

 

House Competitions

House Competitions are run by subject departments and the House captains, these contribute to the overall yearly winners by giving out House Points to the winners and also for those students who participate within the competition.

We have competitions such as a talent show, photography and pumpkin carving competitions. The culmination is reached at Sports Day, where more points are won in each event, the overall house point total calculated, and the winning House announced.

Current House Competition:

 

House Points

House Points are given out in each lesson as Achievement Points for a variety of reasons such as great participation, excellent classwork or consistently striving to achieve.

The House Reward

The ultimate prize is the House Reward. Each year, the seven houses will compete for the prestigious House Reward.  This prize is given to the House that accumulates the most points in various diverse competitions and by performing well in class. 

Benefits Of The House System

At Sir William Ramsay School, the House System supports our students and some of the ways this is achieved are:

  • Fostering respect, consideration and courtesy throughout the school community.
  • Encouraging positive self-esteem amongst students and promoting the values and ethos of the school community.
  • Providing opportunities to obtain the essential life skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing society.
  • Providing chances for equality of opportunities as well as encouragement so that students can realise their full potential.
  • The promotion of student responsibilities, leadership skills and collaboration.
  • The development of students’ personal and social skills and well-being.
  • Ensuring our school is a school that Students, Parents/Carers, Staff, Governors and the Wider Community can be justly proud of.
