Our School House System

Our houses are called The Tall Ship (Red),  Armadillo (Yellow), Loch Ness (Blue) and Glasgow Green (Green).

Children are allocated to a house and all siblings are sorted into the same house.

The House Points System

To encourage positive behaviour, the school operates a house system. The children are divided into four houses and a captain and vice captain are elected. The children can earn points for their house through demonstrating good behaviour, hard work and effort and good manners all of  which creates a positive learning environment.

Each week the winning house is announced at assembly. The winning house is recorded on the School House display wall. Each term the children in the winning house receives an award for example: a movie, ice cream van etc

The overall winning house at the end of the school session receives a trophy and a special treat is organised (outwith COVID restrcitions.)

The houses are named after famous Scottish landmarks and are as follows:

The Tall Ship     

 The Armadillo

Loch Ness

  Glasgow Green

The Tall Ship is a steel-hulled three-masted barque, built in 1896 for Glasgow owners, trading as a cargo ship. The ship is named the “Glenlee”. From 1922 she was a sail training ship in the Spanish Navy. She is now a museum ship at the Riverside Museum on the River Clyde.

The Armadillo, also known as the Clyde Auditorium, is located near the River Clyde. It earned its it had earned its affectionate nickname due to the similarity of its shape to that of the animal of the same name.

Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands. It is reported to be the home of the elusive Loch Ness monster, Nessie.

Glasgow Green is the oldest park in the city. The park served a number of purposes in its first few centuries; as a grazing area for sheep and cattle, an area to wash and bleach linen, an area to dry fishing nets and for activities like swimming.
