House Captains
KSM House Captains
At KSM, we have four houses, Romans, Tudors, Saxons and Vikings. All pupils at KSM belong to one of these four Houses. Each House is led by two House Captains from year 6. Pupils who wish to be considered as a House Captain are invited to make an application to be a House Captain and are then voted for by their peers
House Captains need to be a good role model for their peers and be a member of the school who other pupils feel they respect, trust and talk to. A key role is one of responsibility that requires House Captains to be dedicated, organised and to set a positive example to all children throughout our school.
House Captains maintain a high level of commitment throughout the year to promote school events such as open days and sports days, encourage and motivate their team as well as assist school staff. House captains have a good attitude, work hard, are resilient and encourage positive behaviour across the school. They are caring, honest organised and keen to support the whole school. They also look out for those who might need support and help those in need.
