To Care, Challenge and Inspire

House Colours at Broomhill Junior School

At Broomhill Junior School, five core words underpin everything we do and are embedded into all areas of our curriculum. These are our 5Rs: Respect, Responsible, Reflective, Resilient, and Relationships. Each word is equally important, helping us build a strong, supportive Broomhill family.

Every child and staff member is allocated to one of our five Houses, named after these 5Rs and represented by their own house colour:
 

• Respect House (Red)
• Responsible House (Green)
• Reflective House (Yellow)
• Resilient House (Purple)
• Relationships House (Blue)

How Children Earn House Points

Pupils can earn house points throughout the week by demonstrating our 5Rs in lessons, around school, at break and lunchtime, and in assemblies. Points are awarded for:
 

• Showing positive choices and great behaviour in assemblies
• Receiving certificates or awards in assemblies
• Demonstrating positive playground and dining hall choices (handed out by our Midday Supervisors)
• Achieving over 97% attendance
• Being selected as a termly PE Star
• Showing positive behaviour and values during inter-house competitions
• Displaying the 5Rs around school every day
   

Children post their earned tokens directly into the House Token Collection Boxes located in the school hall.

Curriculum-Linked Inter-House Competitions

Welcome to Broomhill Junior School’s Behaviour, Relationships and Regulation framework. Underpinned by our school motto, To Care, Challenge and Inspire, we use a trauma-informed, relational approach across our school.

Throughout the year, we hold exciting inter-house competitions. These are directly linked to current PE topics in our curriculum, allowing children to showcase their abilities and participate after spending previous weeks learning, practicing, and refining their skills.
 

Key Competition Dates:

• Autumn Competition: Monday 12th October
• Spring Competition's: Monday 8th February and Monday 22nd March
• Summer Competition's: Monday 26th April and Thursday 24th June
• Annual Sports Day: Monday 5th July and Tuesday 6th July (TBC)

The Role of Our Year 6 House Captains

Each House is led by staff captains and elected Year 6 House Captains who meet to review progress and plan house activities.
 

Working alongside staff and Mr Langford, our pupil House Captains:

• Collect, monitor, and announce weekly house point totals in Friday assemblies
• Help organise, set up equipment, and run inter-house events and Sports Day
• Deliver speeches in assemblies to encourage participation and build house pride
• Lead house meetings and reflective reviews with their house
• Act as positive role models and mentor younger pupils so everyone feels included

The House Cup and End-of-Year Reward Day

The winning House displays the Broomhill 5R Cup in the main office foyer decorated with their house ribbon.
 

At the end of the year, we celebrate the overall winning House with our official House Colour Reward Day on Thursday 15th July. Pupils in the winning house are rewarded with an incredible day of special activities, which in previous years have included Archery, Nerf Activities, Laser Tag, and Disco Dodgeball!
