The House System at Bodmin College Bodmin College is divided into four ‘houses’ and which are named after notable regional landmarks including: Beacon –Blue Dunmere – Red Glynn – Green Helman – Yellow At Bodmin College the following are some of the traits which we hope to develop and encourage through the work of the house system and tutor groups. We believe that in developing these areas our students will have a positive school experience and we will help to raise their aspirations towards future successes both at Bodmin College and beyond. These are: o o o o o o Sense of Belonging Competition Student Leadership Student Voice Cross Year Working Pastoral and Academic Support Sense of Belonging We aim to ensure that students feel safe and have a sense of belonging in the school and in their tutor group. The tutor group is the first point of contact for all of our students each day and the students follow a weekly programme of activities during tutorial time which are designed to help foster and develop their sense of belonging. Each tutor group belongs to one of the four houses and there is a great emphasis placed on developing the House Spirit through many of the competitions and events that run throughout the school year. Our students rightly feel proud to belong to their House and all of their good work and effort in lessons and activities is rewarded with House Points that build towards a house total and associated rewards. Assemblies and tutor time are important times for developing this sense of belonging. At Bodmin College assemblies are a time where we focus on the achievement of our students as well as providing planned sessions which contribute towards the SMSC development of students. In tutor groups activities support SMSC development and play a significant part in contributing towards the development of responsible citizen’s through a planned programme of activities. Competition Competition plays an important part in the House System and all students are encouraged to represent their House during the course of the year. Events vary from year to year, but typically include: The House System at Bodmin College o o o o o Sports e.g. Football, Tug of War, X Country and lots more Literacy Numeracy Dragons Den Tutor Quiz All students are competing for House Points that build towards their own personal total and towards that of their House. The Inter House events contribute a great deal to the life of the school and the enjoyment of the students. Student Leadership The House System presents perfect opportunities for our students to develop the leadership skills that will be so important as they move through the school and beyond. All of our students are encouraged to take on leadership roles at some stage in their school career.
