Rewards & House System

The system of rewards at Caldicot areclosely aligned to the school's house system. Combined, they seekto further promote student achievement as well as contribute to the development of the whole person. The school acknowledges and rewards endeavours shown by our students in the form of House points.

There are four houses within which all students and staff are placed. The house patrons were chosen by public vote and are: Attenborough, Bevan, Curie, and Pankhurst. The house patrons represent the best in British values and reflect our aspirations for our students. The House system provides great opportunities for all students to develop leadership skills, build effective teams and demonstrate positive values through healthy competition at school. 

The system is designed to be accessible to students from a range of academic and extracurricular activities.  For clarity we have organized the criteria using the mnemonic LEAD.

Environment / Ethos
