House Teams

We have a House Points System at Dilton Marsh C of E Primary School. All children are grouped into four House Teams.

Purpose of our House System

The house system aims to encourage a real sense of pride and achievement for the children. It fosters community spirit and gives the children across all year groups the opportunity to contribute to something bigger.  

Our newly elected house captains have re-launched our houses. This has been a democratic process where every child within our school had the opportunity to vote. 

Our new houses are the national flowers of the 4 countries of the United Kingdom. We recognise and celebrate that we are citizens of the UK.

            Daffodil, Rose, Shamrock and Thistle                  

We chose these to link with our Vision vehicle, BEES - Belong, Encourage, Endure and Serve - these 4 Christian Values are central to who we are at Dilton Marsh. 

House Captains

The House Captains are responsible for leading their House in competitions and events, and representing the school in the community and a range of school events and activities. The responsibilities of the House Captains are:

• to set an example to the other children
• to earn house points and encourage others to do so
• to represent the house when collecting awards
• to be somebody others can turn to for advice

Earning House Points

House Points are collected through class dojos - an online system to record points in all classes. Points can be awarded by all staff to children for a variety of reasons. For example:

• Polite, well-mannered behaviour
• Demonstrating a caring attitude towards peers
• Working to the best of their ability
• Excellent attendance
• Putting special effort into a piece of work
• Neatly presented work
• Positive attitude towards work
• Sporting achievement
• Taking part in competitions and events
• Helpful approaches to different situations
