School Houses
The Piggott School’s House System is made up of four houses, named after local rivers:
The purpose of the House system is to encourage pupils to take on an active role within the school and to take pride in their House. Through the House system we hope to build a sense of community as well as encouraging pupils to work for their House in a competitive manner.
The house system involves house points, in the form of merits and each individual pupil is encouraged to collect these to support their house. Merits are awarded for effort and achievement, community service and extra curricular involvement within the school.
Being a member of a house is about being part of a team, so each an every member of this school, pupils and staff are part of a team. Every member of a team is important. Each person brings unique skills, knowledge, and experience. People also bring energy, drive, passion, and determination. Since not everyone brings different amounts of all of these things, team members need each other.
Each house has two Heads of House who are in Year 13, and each year group has two house captains for each house. Within the next couple of weeks these people will make themselves known to you and start recruiting you all to take part in both sport and curricular House competitions.
At present the school holds many sporting inter-house competitions every year along with the annual Spelling Bee, Photography and ‘It’s a Knockout’ competition.
