The aim of St Cuthbert's CofE Junior School’s House System is to encourage pupils to develop life skills such as working cooperatively, demonstrating leadership, developing awareness of world wide events and to give of their best at all times. The House System at our school has proven to be a successful way to achieve this and adds to the welcoming ethos of our school. Pupils earn House Points through Work, Conduct, Culture and Community Marks. Our aim is to
promote positive
behaviour.
