Our Houses

At Pimlico Primary, all children in Year 1 and above become members of one of four houses, each named after a Greek god or goddess: Athena, Apollo, Hera, and Zeus.

Our house system is designed to bring pupils together across different year groups, helping them build friendships, learn from one another, and feel a strong sense of belonging. It creates a welcoming and inclusive school environment where every child is valued and has opportunities to contribute.

To encourage our core values—knowledge, aspiration, and respect—pupils can earn points for their house. These points are awarded for a range of positive actions, such as outstanding work, kindness towards classmates, or stepping outside their comfort zone. Every two weeks, we total up the points, and the winning house is celebrated in our school assembly.

Throughout the year, pupils take part in a variety of house events, including sports competitions, poetry recitals, and creative challenges. These activities not only strengthen our school spirit but also create lasting memories and inspire children to shine in different areas.

The house system also provides pupils with valuable leadership opportunities. Older students often support younger ones in Reception by reading with them, helping to develop both their sense of responsibility and their empathy. Pupils can also volunteer as playground buddies, ensuring everyone has a happy and inclusive playtime. Many contribute to school life in other ways too, such as becoming librarians or monitoring the weather station.

By taking part in the house system, our pupils grow into confident, considerate individuals equipped with the skills and character to thrive in secondary school and beyond.
