Houses at Abbey View
The House System is designed to embody the values and ethos of our Academy and is an integral part of our academy community. It is our ambition that the House System alongside the Academy Council will enable our pupils to have a stronger voice in the decision-making across the Academy.
All children are allocated a House and they will spend all their time with us in that one House. Children can earn House Points for their Houses by working hard in class, producing really good quality work, being polite and courteous, helping each other and by setting a good example. House meetings are held where the children are encouraged to work hard for their Houses and to do the best they can to earn as many House Points as possible. As well as the academic side of school life, children also represent their Houses in Sports Day and other sporting/competitive events throughout the year.
