School Houses

Which houses do we have?

We believe very much at Camelsdale in promoting and rewarding positive behaviour - nurturing individual and team efforts. On entering school, children join one of our house teams:

Green           Red           Blue           Yellow

Children in Year 5 hold House Captain responsibility and play a large part in sports day and the swimming gala when houses compete against each other. Siblings are placed in the same house. Year 5 also act as our Junior Road Safety Officers.  Year 6 pupils are elected as Head Boy/Head Girl, Prefects, Sports Ambassadors and Play Leaders.
