Wheeler’s Houses
At Wheeler Primary, we believe that a sense of family and community is at the heart of everything that we do. To strengthen relationships, pupils from across the school are mixed up in to four houses. Each house has an elected captain and vice-captain.
Pupils gather together in their houses across their phase for various events throughout the year where they work together collaboratively to complete tasks. Children work together in their houses to try and earn the most amount of house points each term in order to win the house celebration.
Our Houses are named after some of Hull’s Heroes
Amy Johnson – The first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930
Lillian Bilocca – A British fisheries worker and campaigner for improved safety in the fishing fleet as leader of the “headscarf revolutionaries” – a group of fishermen’s family members.
