Pastoral House Groups

How to Apply

Pastoral House Groups

Within English Martyrs’ we have allocated house groups. The house groups are named after local Saints from the North of England. These pastoral groups comprised of children from every year and have both teaching and support staff in them.

Within Year 6 the children apply for the role of House captain. There are 2 house captains for each of the houses.

Pupils earn house points and the house points are collated to see which house has won. The winning house is awarded a trophy for display on their house board in the Hall.

Our House Groups Saints are:

  • St Aidan
  • St Bede
  • St Bega
  • St Benet Biscop
  • St Cuthbert
  • St Hilda
  • St Oswald
