House System

At Q3 Academy Tipton, we run a House system and its going to really take off this year! All students belong to a House and this is shown in their Tutor Group name (i.e. A – Arts, C – Communications, D – Discovery, L – Lifestyle and S – Social Design).

Our House system gives students of all ages the opportunity to work together, creating a cohesive environment.  The aims of the house system are:

• To give students opportunities to challenge themselves in new pursuits
• To enable students to work with different people across the school
• To develop new skills such as leadership
• To recognise and celebrate students’ achievements over and above their academic studies.

Throughout the course of the year, students will participate in many competitions that contribute to their overall house points total.  Competition across the houses is encouraged and currently there are several whole school cups and trophies:

• Attendance Cup
• Attainment Trophy
• Sports Day Cup

Each house is led by a House Champion, supported by a sixth form House Captain and a mascot. Our house system helps to embed our core values of Ambition, Resilience, Kindness and Respect.  

The House Champions will meet students at regular points during the year and support them to achieve their very best with us; they directly equip students with the skills to live life to the full!
