Houses
As part of our behaviour policy, we introduced a House system at Grendon.
All children at Grendon are placed in one of four houses, except Reception who are 'sorted' into their House as part of their Reception Graduation in July each year.
We have named our houses after people who are aspirational because of their achievements in their field. They all have strong connections to Birmingham and feature throughout our curriculum. Children will find out more about them during their time at Grendon.
Our Houses are:

Children work all year during our usual curriculum and enrichment days to win points for their team. This is another way for us to reward the excellent behaviour we see so often.
On House day at the end of each year, the winning team are awarded the House trophy!
Please find out which House your child is in, and support them in their quest to win points - good luck everybody!
