House Cup Reports

Brierley House System

Every child from Year 1 through to Year 6 is randomly allocated into a house, which they will represent during their time here at Brierley. In order to help with the organisation of the houses, House Captains have been appointed from Year 6. The house names were chosen as they are all names of famous Cheshire landmarks: Anderton, Jodrell, Tatton and Delamere.

The four houses compete over the school year in various sporting and academic activities, with the house earning the most Dojos being crowned as winners for each term. Dojos are also awarded for positive behaviour, excellent attendance and class work.

About the House system:

The idea of introducing a house system stemmed from wanting to address some objectives to improve our whole school:

  • To offer ALL children the chance to take part in extra-curricular activity (some are unable to stay after school).
  • To bring a sense of pride in belonging to a house and to enjoy the friendly competition between houses.
  • To create more opportunity for pupils to experience both winning and losing (life skills!).
  • To be used as a positive behaviour tool - individuals can collect Dojos from teachers.
  • To reward excellent attendance with Dojos.
  • To offer more leadership and organisational opportunities to Year 5/6 pupils.

The house names were also offer class teachers the opportunity to produce work based on the houses. The cross-curricular links could include: History, Geography, Art, Design / Technology, English and ICT.

In addition to the appointed house captains, we have assigned each member of staff to a house.

We organise house events for all years, with competitions taking place in PE lessons and at lunchtimes. For KS2, the House Captains (with guidance!) are responsible for selecting and encouraging pupils to participate in the house events.

House points for each event / activity are awarded as follows:
1st = 4 points 2nd = 3 points 3rd = 2 points 4th = 1 point

Mr Foulkes collates and keeps the scores updated throughout the school year. The children love our house system and the opportunities that it provides.

On Thursday 21st March, Year 5/6 took on the Ball Skills Challenge, in which they had to complete 3 skills in the fastest time. They were 1) an underarm throw into a target 2) an overarm throw into a target and 3) kick a ball into a target. They had 1 minute to try to complete the challenge and out of the 23 pupils who took part, we had 14 complete the challenge. The fastest 3 from each house were then averaged to find the overall winner. Our fastest individual was Melvin Nicol with an incredible 3 seconds- scoring all three on his first attempts! He helped TATTON to victory with an average score of 12.3, ahead of Jodrell (24.5), Anderton (28.6) and Delamere (31).

Year 5/6 enjoyed some Dodgeball in the Spring sunshine on Tuesday 26th March, with 28 pupils taking part. Round one saw Tatton beat Anderton and Delamere were excellent in their win over Jodrell.

The final round saw Tatton blow away Jodrell 7-0 and Anderton grabbed their first win against Delamere. This meant our overall winners were TATTON who remained unbeaten. The other three houses were tied for 2nd place on one win each, so points difference was used to split them. Runners up were Anderton (3pts), ahead of Jodrell (2pts) and Delamere (1pt).
