Laurence Stephen Lowry was an English artist. His drawings and paintings mainly depict Pendlebury, Greater Manchester as well as Salford and its vicinity. Lowry painted scenes of life in the industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20th century.

Emmeline Pankhurst established a group who became known as the suffragettes who campaigned for women to have the same equal voting rights as men. In 1918, owing to her, and other women’s efforts, women over 30 were given the right to vote.

Ellee Cheetham, a former Green End pupil, is an elite artistic gymnast from Manchester who represents Scotland and trains with the City of Manchester Institute of Gymnastics. Ellee has competed at British Championship level and, after taking six years away from elite gymnastics, made an impressive return to the sport in 2025. In 2026, she became Scottish All-Around Champion, just three months after returning to competition. She was subsequently selected to represent Team Scotland at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games

Diane grew up locally in Longsight. Diane represented Britain in an impressive four Olympic Games, from 1988 to 2000 and was unbeaten for six consecutive seasons by any other British athlete over her specialist distance of 800m. After retiring from athletics, Diane established the Diane Modahl Sports Foundation which champions young people from disadvantaged areas across the North West.

Our House Captains have number of targets for this year:

To work with staff to be great role models to the younger pupils around school.
To improve their resilience and teamwork skills - both with their school peers and other young leaders from Kingsway Trust - including visits to ‘Venture Out’ and Kinder Scout.
To organise school wide competitions.
To take part in the Manchester Healthy Schools Project - Voicebox.
To improve their self-organisation skills and become more confident public speakers.
To organise a school wide reading buddy system
To make links with and raise money for our chosen charity, Save the Children.

Our House Captains meet on a fortnightly basis with Mr. Shaw and can be seen around school helping with assembly and acting as role models.

The School Houses System at Green End

Allocation of Houses

The school is divided into four houses, the names of which were voted for by the children and are Manchester Icons, Kingsley, Lowry, Pankhurst and Modahl.

Children are allocated a house in Year 1 or when they join the school at a later stage. Where possible, children of the same family will be allocated the same house (unless they request otherwise) whilst ensuring that the number of children is fairly balanced between each house.

Captains and Vice Captains

At the end of the year, Year 5 children who will be going in to Year 6 will be given the opportunity to complete an application to nominate themselves as Captains or Vice Captains. Mr Shaw and Mr Harriott will interview the children who have completed this process.

Mr Shaw and Mr Harriott will decide on the final Captain and Vice Captains after talking to the Year 6 Class Teacher.

Captain and Vice Captain Expectations

Captain and Vice Captain are expected to:

Meet regularly to support school improvement
Undertake a leadership programme including collaboration with our other Trust schools
Support school activities including the delivery of assemblies
Be an exemplary student

Awarding House Points

Any member of staff can award House Points to any child, at any time and for any reason. if they are following the school's values and behaviour policy. If a child has been identified for going above and beyond, they will be given a coloured token that represents their house.

The house points are counted weekly by the House Captains - with the totals being updated twice a half term and shared with the school community in our whole school Monday Assembly.
