House System

At South Axholme Academy, every student is allocated to one of our seven houses when they join the Academy and becomes part of a form group within that house. Throughout the year, students compete, collaborate and celebrate together, creating a strong sense of belonging and pride.

Our house system is a key part of Academy life and provides opportunities for students of all ages to work together, support one another and develop friendships that last well beyond their time at school. Through house events, traditions and celebrations, students build a positive identity while contributing to the wider Academy community.

Students can earn House Points in a variety of ways. Every ACHIEVED point they receive for demonstrating our SAX Mindset values of being Ready, Resilient and Respectful contributes towards their house total. Students can also earn additional House Points by taking part in the wide range of house competitions and events that run throughout the year, including activities such as the annual Art Competition, Sports Day and many other academic, creative and charitable challenges.

House Point totals are updated and shared weekly, creating friendly competition throughout the year. At the end of the academic year, the house with the highest total is crowned House Champions and is presented with the prestigious House Trophy.

Our house system helps foster a strong sense of community, encourages positive behaviour, increases student engagement and participation, and provides opportunities for leadership, teamwork and personal development. Rather than simply being one of over a thousand students, every young person belongs to a close-knit house community where they can represent their peers, celebrate success and make a meaningful contribution to Academy life.

At South Axholme Academy, our seven houses are named after inspirational figures with strong connections to Lincolnshire, celebrating individuals who have made a significant contribution to history, culture, science and society. Each house is led by a House Captain from our Senior Student Leadership Team, who plays a key role in promoting house spirit, organising events and encouraging participation throughout the year.

The seven houses are linked to colours, and are as follow:

 

Each house also has a motto underpinning its core values. These are as follow:
