Our Wittersham House Captains are a vital part of our pupil leadership team, chosen through a democratic process that takes place in early September each year. Year 6 students are invited to nominate themselves and run for election. As part of the process, candidates present a manifesto and speech, outlining their plans for contributing to the school’s development and fulfilling the responsibilities of the role. Once all the candidates have presented, the school community casts their votes to elect the House Captains who will represent their respective house teams throughout the year.

The key responsibilities of our House Captains include working with staff to organise inter-house events and competitions, collecting weekly house point totals and presenting them in our celebration worship, and acting as positive role models to ensure all children are engaged and happy during lunchtimes.

Our four houses are named after local castles—Bodiam, Hever, Leeds, and Scotney. House points are earned by demonstrating our Christian values, going the ‘extra mile’ for peers, and competing in events organised by the House Captains. At the end of each full term, the house with the most points is rewarded with a special prize, chosen by the house team itself. Rewards may include a non-school uniform day, a party, or extra break time, making the house competition an exciting and motivating feature of school life.

This year, our House Captains are:

Leeds - Azaan 

Hever - Nancy

Bodium - Poppy

Scotney - Felix
