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:
Bunbury Cup - for the House achieving the highest commendations per student average across all year groups
House Trophies - for the boys' and girls' Houses achieving the best effort grade averages across all year groups
Talbot Cup - Drill Competition (boys)
Longmoor Cup - Drill Competition (girls)
Rees-Graham Sport Cup - for the House achieving the highest points tally across all major sports (Main School)
Steve Monk Trophy (Boys) - for the House achieving the highest points tally across sports in the Sixth Form
Steve Monk Trophy (Girls) - for the House achieving the highest points tally across sports in the Sixth Form
Headmaster's Cup (Boys) - for the House achieving the highest points tally across sports in Years 7-11
Headmaster's Cup (Girls) - for the House achieving the highest points tally across sports in Years 7-11
The Arts Cup - (Debating, Baking, Music, Pipes & Drums, Art and Drama)
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:
