Here at Cotwall End, we pride ourselves in the way that we develop working together and a community spirit. To develop this further across the whole school, every child is a member of one of our four houses:
-
Beacon, who wear blue and have a chivalrous shark as their mascot
-
Wrekin, who wear yellow and have a very cheerful chicken as their mascot
-
Clent, who wear green and have a fearless frog mascot
-
Malvern, who wear red and have a lively lobster mascot
In a similar way to our School Councillors, Year 6 pupils put themselves forward to become House Captain and prepare a short speech to say why they would like to represent their House. At the beginning of every year, the children meet in their Houses and vote in the House Captain who they choose to represent them for the coming year. House Captains represent their House at sporting events and are instrumental in driving forward their House to gain the highest number of House Points each week. This is announced in our Praise Assembly and the House Captain is accompanied by their House Mascot to celebrate their success.
Here are our wonderful House Captains for 2024-2025:
The school’s House Captains were buzzing with excitement! They thought, “Why not start our very own Spelling Bee Club?” So, they decided to take charge and set it all up without any help. The very next day, during break time, they announced the club to everyone, and guess what? Loads of friends turned up to join in the fun!
With smiles on their faces and words whizzing around, the hall quickly became the place to be. The House Captains organised friendly competitions, and everyone was keen to show off their spelling skills. They even had a little scoreboard to keep track of all the fabulous spellers!
Everyone loved it and the atmosphere was electric with laughter and cheers. We can’t wait to see who will become the ultimate spelling champion! Let the fun continue! 🐝✨
