~ Welcome to Blidworth Oaks Primary and Nursery School ~

House Teams

All of the children in KS1 and KS2 will join one of our four House Teams.

The Houses are named after shafts in Blidworth Mine - Brinsley (Red), Abdy (Yellow), Hazel (Green) and Blackshale (Blue).

Each house will have a House Captain, Vice Captain and Sports Captain. They will be from Year 6, elected on an annual basis from those that apply for the roles.

The Captains will be responsible (under the direction of Mrs Duffy) for the day to day running of the House - for example organising sports teams, ensuring new members settle into school etc.

All of the children will try to earn Merits for their House. Merits are given for particularly good pieces of work, high levels of effort, contribution to school life and helping others. At the end of the year the House with the most Merits wins the Cup.

There are also individual certificates for children who earn 40 merits (Bronze) 80 merits (Silver) 120 merits (Gold) and 160 merits (Platinum) over the year and a prize for the person who earns the most merits in the whole school!
