House Cup Update: The Race to the Finish Line!

April 24, 2026/in Whole School/by Keris McCormick

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, the atmosphere is electric. The leaderboard is still shifting, the points are piling up, and every student’s contribution is making a difference. Here is everything you need to know about where we stand in the race for the prestigious House Cup.

The current Leader is Nightingale 

How the Winner is Decided

Remember, winning the House Cup isn’t just about one big event; it’s about consistency and character across the board. We determine the winner by looking at:

  • Most Recognitions: those extra house points earned for hard work, kindness, and going above and beyond.
  • Least Consequences: demonstrating discipline and respect in our daily school life.
  • Inter-House Competitions: success in our scheduled seasonal events.

Recent Victories

It has been a busy few months, and several houses have already secured major wins to boost their totals:

Event Winning House
School Talent Show Ali
Wheel & Walk Initiative Ali 
House Badminton  Nightingale 

 

Shoutout: A huge well done to everyone who participated in the Wheel & Walk Initiative. This event tracked which students chose to walk or ride their bikes to school, proving that our houses care just as much about the environment as they do about the trophy!

Coming Up This Term

There are still plenty of points up for grabs! If your house is currently trailing, don’t lose heart these upcoming events could change everything:

  • House Rounders: get your bats ready for some teamwork on the field.
  • Armstrong House Writing Competition: a chance for our poets and storytellers to shine.
  • House Quiz of the Year: put your general knowledge to the ultimate test.
  • Sports Day: the grand finale where speed, strength, and spirit collide!

Keep pushing, keep earning those recognitions, and let’s see which house will be lifting the cup at the end of the term.

Good luck to all houses!

 

Mrs Stockwell – Head of House
