At Hawley, we have 4 houses: Earth, Fire, Water and Wind. Every child in the school is a member of a house. Children can earn house points every week, which are then celebrated in assembly every Friday. 

Children in Year 6 can apply to become a House Captain to represent their house for the year. They apply for the role by writing a speech and reading this out to their house during a house assembly. The children vote for who they would like to represent their house. House Captains lead house assemblies, organise events and are role models within our school. 

‘I wanted to be a House Captain because it boosted my confidence and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I also thought it would be a nice thing to try as I haven’t done any main roles like that before.’
