Every child from Year 1 through to Year 6 has been put into a house, which they will represent during their time here at Brierley. In order to help with the organisation of the houses, House Captains have been appointed from Year 6. The house names were chosen as they are all names of famous Cheshire landmarks: Delamere, Jodrell, Anderton and Tatton.
The four houses compete over the school year in various sporting and academic activities, with the house earning the most Dojos being crowned as winners for each term. Dojos are also awarded for positive behaviour, excellent attendance and class work.
The idea of introducing a House system stemmed from wanting to address some objectives to improve our whole school: The house names were selected in order to offer class teachers the opportunity to produce work based on the houses. The cross-curricular links could include: History, Geography, Art, Design / Technology, English and ICT.
In addition to the appointed house captains, we have assigned each member of staff to a house.
