School Houses

We have four Houses within West Coats, and all children and staff belong to a house. Our Houses are:

Douglas,  Stewarton,  Buchanan,  Cadzow

Our house system provides an opportunity to develop communities within the school which spans across the stages. It also enables us to educate about democracy in a real context, by holding elections for our P6 Vice Captians and P7 House Captains. Pupils work together to earn points for their house which is recorded. A point can be earned by going over and above and working hard to demonstrate our values of kindness, confidence and excellence. At the end of each term, the house with the most points celebrates with a ‘House Treat’ run by Mrs Hargin.
