Your school values. Your houses. A shared sense of belonging.
A house system with a bigger purpose
Make your school values part of everyday life
School culture grows through what your community notices, encourages and celebrates. Give staff a simple way to recognise those moments, and students more reasons to take part.
Invite participation
Celebrate different strengths, from reading and creativity to service and teamwork.
Build school spirit
Turn individual contributions into collective pride and friendly competition throughout the year.
Recognition that reaches further
Celebrate achievement in every part of school life
Sport is one way to contribute, not the only way. Recognise academic achievement, positive behaviour, acts of kindness, leadership and community involvement alongside sporting participation.
Staff can award house points in seconds, making recognition a small, natural part of the school day rather than another administrative task.

Imagine a week at your school
A reading challenge. A thoughtful act. A team effort.
Each can contribute to the same house competition. Your school decides what to celebrate and how to award points in line with its values.
Illustrative ideas, not a record of student activity.
A shared view of house progress gives your community something to celebrate together.
Shared progress. Shared pride.
Keep school spirit visible all year
Create moments of excitement in assemblies, classrooms and shared spaces. Live school-wide leaderboards help students see how everyday contributions add to their house's progress.
Use your house names, colours and branding to make the celebration feel unmistakably yours. Keep the focus on participation, teamwork and friendly competition, not just who finishes first.
Less friction. More recognition.
Make it easy for staff to bring your culture to life
A whole-school approach needs to fit real school days. Quick setup, straightforward staff access and minimal training help your team start recognising contributions without a complex rollout.
School House Comp is cloud-based and accessible wherever staff have an internet connection. No school-system integration is required, and it stores no student profiles or individual student records.
Award points in seconds, so recognition fits the moment.
Simple staff controls, so any staff member can get involved.
House-level recognition, without collecting student data.
Award history, so staff can review contributions and keep the competition accountable.

Frequently asked questions
A clearer picture for your school team
Is School House Comp just for sports competitions?
No. It helps your house system support school culture throughout the year. Recognise learning, attendance, punctuality, kindness, citizenship, leadership, creativity, charity work and teamwork, as well as sport.
How does it help build school culture?
It gives staff a simple way to recognise contributions that reflect your values and makes collective house progress visible. Your school's approach to recognition, inclusion and participation brings that culture to life; the platform supports it rather than replacing it.
Does it store student data?
It is designed for house-level recognition, not individual student tracking. No student accounts, profiles or records are required. Staff account details and award history are stored to operate the service. Keep student names and identifying information out of free-text award reasons and uploaded content. Read our Privacy Policy for details.
Do we need to connect it to our school systems?
No integration is required. Set up your houses, add staff accounts and access School House Comp through a web browser with an internet connection.
How much training will staff need?
The point-awarding workflow is straightforward and designed for minimal training. Staff can award points in seconds. Agreeing on what your school recognises and how points are awarded is an important part of getting started.
Can we use it at carnivals and other school events?
Yes. Event scoring can contribute to the wider house competition, with an event-specific live board for sharing that event's progress. Keep the same house spirit going through classroom activities, service and everyday recognition afterwards.
How do we keep competition inclusive and fair?
Create varied opportunities to contribute, recognise effort and participation alongside achievement, and agree on clear expectations for staff. Consider accessibility, house sizes and students' circumstances when deciding how to award points, especially for attendance and punctuality. The school sets its own framework; the platform does not determine eligibility or fairness automatically.
Can our leadership team see it before committing?
Yes. Request a demo to explore your school's goals, or start a full-access 14-day trial with no credit card required. See the pricing page for annual access details.
