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

This year our P7 House Captains and P6 Vice Captains are:                  

Douglas: Captains - Millie, Orla & Lewis. Vice - Ariana, Ria & Bruce.

Stewarton: Captains - Sophie Mae, Callum & Harry.Vice - Blair & Aria

Buchanan: Captains - Eva, Christopher & Arran. Vice - Gabriella, Elsie & Zac
