Trotts Hill Primary School and Nursery
Our Trotts Hill Houses promote responsibility, good learning, team work and competition. Every child from Nursery to Year 6, and every adult who works in the school, is placed in one of our four Houses. Each House takes it name after an inspirational person, who has achieved something outstanding in their lifetime.
Children can earn House points for displaying excellent learning behaviours and showing positive manners around the school.
Each term the House Captains will collate each class’ House Points and a winning House will be announced in assembly.

We had a fantastic House Morning this week, all centred around sustainability and how we can work together to move towards net zero. Our children took part in a wonderful range of eco-themed activities across the houses:
Some pupils built brilliant bug hotels using repurposed materials, others created beautiful artwork using colourful bottle tops. Many designed light-switch reminder covers to help us remember to turn off lights when we leave a room and we even had children making notebooks from scrap paper!
We rounded off the morning with an uplifting performance of SOS from the Kids, a powerful song about protecting our planet.
We are so proud of the creativity, teamwork, and thoughtfulness shown by all our pupils during the House Morning.
This morning, children from Reception to Year 6 united in their house groups for an action-packed House Morning! This morning’s theme, ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’, tied in with Children's Mental Health Week. The children were encouraged to reflect on their dreams and how knowing themselves can boost their mental well-being. The morning was filled with inspiring activities like yoga, reading, art, and music and self-awareness. A new display will showcase all the amazing learning and celebrating the children’s journey towards mental wellness and personal growth!
This morning, in our Houses, we celebrated the diversity of the Trotts Hill community. We shared songs and images from different religions and world views: Christian, Muslim, Sanatana Dharma, Judaism, Sikhi and Buddhism. The children decorated jigsaw pieces to represent their world view, wrote acrostic poems and each house learnt a song to share with the school. Thank you to the House Captains for leading a fantastic assembly and to all of the children for showing our PRIDE learning behaviours.
