Swimming Gala Celebrates House Pride

The recent inter-house swim galas once again proved to be a highlight of the sporting calendar with pupils swimming in support of their Houses and supporting one another from poolside.

In Year 7, Smith House took first place, followed by School, Wickett, and Vinter. Individual awards went to Miles D (Victor) and Phoebe C (Victrix).

Year 8 saw an especially close contest, with School and Wickett sharing first place, followed by Vinter and Smith. Thomas T was named Victor, with Astrid C taking Victrix.

In Year 9, School House secured first, ahead of Vinter and Smith. Josh S earned Victor, and Elsa C was named Victrix.

Year 10 events will take place in an upcoming Games lesson, while the Sixth Form competition saw School House take first place, followed by Smith, Vinter, and Wickett, in a combined swimming and water polo format that added further excitement to the final session.

A huge thank you goes to Miss Bickley, Miss Raines, and all the PE staff for their organisation and support in delivering a smooth and successful event!
