House Captains
Here, at St. Agnes’ School, we uphold our commitment to the Gospel, the School’s values, and British Values. Among these values is the principle of Democracy. Starting from Early Years and continuing through Key Stage Two, our students are educated about the significance of democracy, the importance of freedom of speech, and the rights and responsibilities that come with it. These lessons are designed to equip them for the future and life in contemporary Britain.
Annually, students of all ages throughout the school exercise their right to voice their opinions by voting for their preferred House Captain Representatives. The House Captain selection process is a rigorous one. Year 6 students aspiring to represent their peers prepare speeches and deliver them to every member within their respective House, with their peers subsequently electing them. Every year our students demonstrate their resourcefulness and resilience by delivering their speeches in front of all students from years 1 to 6, displaying remarkable courage. Standing before their fellow classmates and articulating why they are suited for the role is no small feat, and we commend and applaud all the candidates who put themselves forward.
Our Captains
House and Vice Captains
At our school, House Captains play an important role in supporting our Catholic ethos and fostering a strong sense of community. Chosen for their positive attitude, leadership skills, and commitment to our school values, House Captains act as role models for others by living out the Gospel values in their daily actions.
House Captains help to lead house events, encourage teamwork, and support charitable activities, helping pupils to grow in responsibility, service, and respect for one another. Through their role, they learn that leadership is rooted in service, following the example of Christ.
Each of our houses is named after an inspirational saint, whose life and faith guide our school community:
- St Teresa – reminding us of love, compassion, and serving others in small but meaningful ways.
- St Faustina – inspiring us to show mercy, kindness, and trust in God.
- St John Southworth – encouraging courage, faithfulness, and standing strong in our beliefs.
- St Alban – reminding us of sacrifice, bravery, and faith in action.
Our House Captains strive to reflect the virtues of their house saint, helping to build a caring, inclusive, and faith-filled school community.
The House and Vice Captain selections for each House are as follows:
- St. Albans House and Vice Captain: Olivia A & Adley
- St. Faustina House and Vice Captain: Leo E & Jasmine
- St. John Southworth House and Vice Captain: Sara & Nol
- St. Teresa House and Vice Captain: Olivia R & Zachary
House Captains Responsibility
The House Captains engage in regular meetings with Miss Francis-Williams to brainstorm and propose diverse fundraising ideas at local, national, and international levels. They also get the chance to suggest methods for promoting our school’s values through tasks and projects. These suggestions are implemented as they start taking steps to execute their plans.
The ultimate responsibility of the House Captains is to gather all the House Points earned by you, which are then compiled and acknowledged every week during our Celebration Assembly. Stay tuned for upcoming House Point celebrations and fundraising events!​
Promoting Prayer
Prayer plays an important part in the life of our school. The school environment supports this by including prayer focuses with current liturgical icons, artefacts, symbols and prayers in each classroom and across the school. Across the school (in the hall, corridors and office area), these are planned and arranged by our House Captains. These environments help to promote a ‘stillness’ and encourage us all to communicate with God.
