At Hunts Grove, every child belongs to one of four houses – Oak (Green), Willow (Yellow), Birch (Blue) or Maple (Red). Each house group was named by the pupils and based on the trees that they could see surounding the school.

Houses are a very important aspect of being part of our school. Each house is led by a house captain. Each year, Year 6 pupils are elected as house captains who lead their house in school sports and competitions.

House and vice house captains are also responsible for collecting and distributing house points, showing visitors around the school and acting as ambassadors.
