From Reception to Year 6 every child at St Edmund's School is part of a school house team. Our houses are: St Anthony of Padua - Blue House St Francis of Assisi - Green House St Bernadette of Lourdes - Yellow House St Brigid of Kildare - Red House Every September at the start of the new school year, 2 House Captains are chosen for each house from the Year 6 classes. House Captains are elected by the Year 6 teachers after they give a speech/presentation about what they can offer their House. The role of a House Captain is to represent their house, this is in a variety of ways such as, lead their house at Sports day and events and also on a weekly basis they collect the house points so that the winning house can be announced at the Monday assembly, They are more than just a title and badge and require dedication and commitment for an entire year.
We had an excellent assembly today from Sophie (Richmond Young Carers) who explained to the children what being a 'young carer' entails. Children who are Young Carers, as Sophie quite rightly said, are the silent superheroes in our families and we need to make sure that we give them that extra bit of support to help them in their daily lives Richmond Young Carers is just such an organisation who can provide additional support and care.
Tour dates are now available for Reception class 2024. If your child was born BETWEEN 1ST SEPTEMBER 2019 AND 31ST AUGUST 2020 they start school in September 2024. Contact the school to book your place on a tour. Whitton Village
