In the 2019-20 academic year we asked all of the children at Grove Road to suggest who they would like our school houses to be named after. We asked for the most inspiring role models, people that show our school’s PRIDE values on an international scale. From there, four new house names were chosen and each child has been allocated a house team. Sunshine points can be earned around school for making positive choices and showing our PRIDE values, culminating in half-termly house parties for the houses with the most. Children will also have opportunities to work within their house teams at events like sports day to support them with building relationships with a wider range of children from across school.
