Our House System
At Trinity St Mary’s, every child becomes part of one of our four school houses when they join our community. Our house system helps children build friendships across year groups, develop a strong sense of belonging and take pride in contributing to their team.
Our Houses are named after the four patron saints of the United Kingdom:
- St Andrew
- St David
- St George
- St Patrick
Each house has its own colour, and children proudly wear their House tie or PE shirt as part of their school identity. Throughout the year, pupils work together to earn House Points by demonstrating excellent behaviour, positive attitudes to learning, respect for others and by living out our school values of Kindness, Unity and Courage.
House Points are collected weekly, with winning Houses enjoying rewards such as extra playtime. At the end of each term, the overall winning House celebrates with a special own clothes day, and the House with the most victories across the year wins an exciting end-of-year party.
Our House system also plays an important role during special events, particularly Sports Day, where children proudly wear their House colours and compete together for the Sports Day trophy. These experiences encourage teamwork, resilience, school spirit and healthy competition in a fun and supportive environment.

St David
St David, the patron saint of Wales, was known for bringing people together and leading with wisdom and humility. He inspires our pupils to value unity, community and service to others.

At Trinity St Mary’s, our house system is much more than friendly competition – it is an important part of school life that helps every child feel connected, supported and proud to be part of our school family.
