When children start at Fair Oak Junior School, they join one of our school houses. 

House points will be awarded to children who consistently demonstrate effort in categories we have identified and value – they are the desired learning characteristics of children at Fair Oak Junior School. By recognising and celebrating these behaviours, we aim to create a consistent, school wide understanding of the characteristics that are needed to be effective learners.

Members of staff will award house points to recognise the effort pupils have put into fully demonstrating these characteristics or making notable improvements from their starting points in these areas. Pupils and parents will be able to track their House Point achievements online, both in school and at home, which helps them to develop a sense of pride in their progress.
