There are three houses at The Priory. On entry to the school, children are allocated randomly to a house, unless they have an older sibling in which case they join the same house. The house names, Falcon, Hawk and Kestrel were chosen by the children and they each wear a badge depicting one of the birds. Each house has its own captain and vice captain, annually elected by the children.

Each week the children earn house tokens for good behaviour, manners, attitude, effort or attainment. Tokens may be awarded by any member of staff and they are collected in transparent boxes in the library. It is one of the roles of the house captains to count up the tokens prior to the weekly Good Work Assembly. The totals are displayed in the hall and the Daley-Franks shield is awarded at the end of each term to the winning house.

The children are proud to be a member of a school house and there is a friendly rivalry between the three groups. For sport and PE, the children wear house T shirts with an emblem in the house colours (Red – Hawk, Yellow – Falcon, Green – Kestrel). During our annual sports day, the children are easily identified to their particular house and this helps when spectators are supporting the teams. Occasionally, children work in house groups rather than year groups, for example if we take more than one year group on a trip. This provides children with useful opportunities to work not only with their peers but with those older or younger than themselves.
