House System
House System – System Llys Ysgol Cwm Brombil
At Ysgol Cwm Brombil, our House System is central to school life. Every pupil and staff member, from Years 7–11 belongs to one of five houses, creating a strong sense of identity, pride and community throughout their time with us.
Our Houses
Pupils are allocated a house through their form class and remain in that house for their entire school journey.
Macsen (Pinc/Pink)
Glyndwr (Melyn/Yellow)
Dwynwen (Gwyrdd/Green)
Llywelyn (Coch/Red)
Branwen (Glas/Blue)
Each house fosters teamwork, leadership and a shared commitment to excellence.
Our Cornerstones
The House System actively promotes our three school cornerstones:
Dyheuad/Aspiration – Encouraging pupils to be ambitious in their goals and determined in their efforts.
Perthyn/Belonging – Building a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and connected.
Cymeriad/Character – Developing pupils who are responsible, kind and act with integrity in all they do.
Through house activities, pupils are encouraged to be committed to their learning, assertive in leadership roles and positive role models within the school community.
Earning House Points
All positive points awarded to pupils are converted into House Points. These are shared and celebrated at the start of every term during House Meetings.
Points are awarded for:
Academic achievement and effort
Positive behaviour and responsible conduct
Leadership and service
Participation and representation
Every contribution counts, ensuring that all pupils play a meaningful role in their house’s success.
Inter-House Competitions

Sporting competitions
Creative and cultural challenges
Academic quizzes
Team-based activities
Major whole-school events also contribute to the overall House Championship:

Student Leadership
The House System is overseen by Mrs Morgan-Doyle and the School Senedd. The Senedd act as House Ambassadors ensuring pupils have a voice in shaping competitions and activities throughout the year.
