House Teams
Pupils can earn house points for demonstrating our Christian values and good behaviour around school. Our houses also compete in sports competitions throughout the year. They are named after people from Rochdale and Balderstone's rich history. We endeavour to keep sibling groups in the same house. Take a look!

It's easy to see where the inspiration for the Fields House logo comes from! Named after the great Gracie Fields, we wonder how many budding singers there are in House Fields!
