Our Houses
At The Riverview Academy, every child belongs to one of our four houses: Formidable, Hurricane, Spitfire and Victory.
Our house system is an important part of how we bring our school community together. It gives children another group to belong to beyond their class or year group and creates opportunities for pupils of different ages to work together, support one another and celebrate shared success.
The houses are closely linked to The Riverview Way. Through house events, competitions, challenges and celebrations, children are encouraged to show Excellence, Kindness, Teamwork, Responsibility, Resilience and Respect. House points recognise children who demonstrate these values and contribute positively to school life, while friendly competition gives pupils the opportunity to represent something bigger than themselves.
The names of our houses also connect us to the history of the area on which our school now stands. Hurricane and Spitfire reflect the aircraft that once took off from this site, while Formidable and Victory recognise the ships that would once have been a familiar sight on the river. They provide a link between Riverview today and the history of the community around us.
Together, the four houses help create a stronger sense of identity and belonging across the academy. Children may compete for different houses, but ultimately they are all part of the same team: one Riverview community, working together and living The Riverview Way.
