Inter-House Competitions
Inter-House competitions are still just as popular as they ever were. Friendly House rivalry has historically taught students the value of teamwork and how to be gracious in both victory and defeat.
Throughout the academic year, students take part in a variety of Inter-House events, competing for the following cups and competitions:
Peter Wynter Bee Sustainability Prize - for House with best environmental initiative
The William Harold Cup - for the House raising the most money for charity
The Gordon Foundation Cup - for the House with the best Honours Programme average
Bunbury Cup - for the House achieving the highest commendations per student average across all year groups
House Trophies - for the Houses achieving the best effort grade averages across all year groups
Talbot Cup - Drill Competition (boys)
Longmoor Cup - Drill Competition (girls)
The Rhys-Graham Memorial Trophy (Boys) - for the House with the highest points in Inter-House sport in the Main School (Y7-11)
The Rhys-Graham Memorial Trophy (Girls) - for the House with the highest points in Inter-House sport in the Main School (Y7-11)
The Steve Monk Cup (Boys) - for the winning House across all Inter-House sport in the Sixth Form The Steve Monk Cup (Girls) - for the winning House across all Inter-House sport in the Sixth Form
The Arts Cup - (Public Speaking, Music, Pipes & Drums, Art and Drama and Cooking)
The Academic Cup - (Debating, Quiz, Maths, Creative Writing and Chess)
With their mash up of Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, Kensington House won the Inter-House Music this year, with fantastic performances from all the Houses, who have been practising for the event since the start of term. In the solo Inter-House Music, Windsor took the crown. Please see below for a round up of the event and the winning song:
