The House System at Emerson Park Academy
At Emerson Park Academy, our House System promotes teamwork, healthy competition and a strong sense of belonging. Every student belongs to one of four Houses, each named after an inspirational British figure whose achievements reflect the values we encourage in our students.
Meet Our Four Houses
🟢 Brunel – Innovation and Determination
Named after Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859), a pioneering engineer famous for designing bridges, railways and ships. His creativity and determination inspire students to think differently and overcome challenges.
🔵 Cavell – Courage and Compassion
Named after Edith Cavell (1865–1915), a British nurse who demonstrated extraordinary bravery during the First World War, caring for wounded soldiers and helping others escape danger.
🟡 Hepworth – Creativity and Individuality
Named after Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975), an internationally celebrated British sculptor whose innovative work transformed modern art. She represents creativity, originality and self-expression.
🔴 Redgrave – Excellence and Resilience
Named after Sir Steve Redgrave (born 1962), a British rower who won gold medals at five consecutive Olympic Games. His achievements demonstrate dedication, resilience and teamwork.
House Competitions and Rewards
Throughout the year, students earn House Points by demonstrating our PRIDE values: Personal Development, Respect, Independence, Determination and Equity.
Students participate in sporting events, creative challenges, quizzes and fundraising activities. Our House Captains encourage participation and represent their fellow students.
Each House also supports a chosen charity, helping students develop compassion and a sense of social responsibility.
The House Trophy
Every House Point contributes towards the annual competition to become House Champions and lift the prestigious House Trophy.
Whether through academic success, creativity, sporting achievements or teamwork, every student can make a difference.
Four Houses. One Academy. Taking PRIDE in all we do.
