Pupils in Year 6 can apply to become House Captains.

- Organised and committed.
- Confident speakers.
- Well-presented in uniform and appearance.
- Able to liaise and converse with staff, peers, and the wider community.
- Desire to act responsibly and to be a role model for other students.
They will fulfil the following duties:

- Support the sports events such as Sports Day.
- Attend meetings as required with members of staff.
- Inspire then children of their House with clear demonstration of the Thurlby Values.
