House System

At St. Leonard’s, each pupil is a member of one of our four house teams:

• Sycamore – Yellow
• Oak – Blue
• Beech – Red
• Holly – Green

Individual rewards

When the children receive a house point, they put a leaf stamp on their individual chart and when they get to 25 they earn a certificate.

Team rewards

For each house point earned, the children also put a coloured pebble (the colour of their team) in a jar on the classroom. Each Friday, the pebbles in each jar are counted and a tally is kept until the end of each half term. At the end of the half term, the team with the most pebbles chooses a reward. There are several rewards on offer, including afternoon tea with Minnie and bring your teddy to school day.

British Values

Recently, each house team has been allocated a British Value:

• Sycamore – Mutual respect and tolerance
• Oak – Individual liberty
• Beech – Democracy
• Holly – Rule of law

The children met together in their teams this week and learnt about their British Value. Each team then chose a charity to support, linked to their British Value. They also came up with a fundraiser idea for their chosen charity:

• Sycamore – House of Bread, Stafford
• Oak – Save the Children
• Beech – Staffordshire Wildlife Trust
• Holly – Blue Paws for Retired Police Dogs
