The last few weeks

Whilst we have been keeping the Hall House Twitter account @KWS_HallHouse regularly updated, we have rather neglected our blog so here is a brief round up of the pats few weeks.
Rob in year 10 has not only been representing the first XI hockey team along with Dom, Freddy, Fin (captain) and Tristan but also played for England U16 against Ireland, a fantastic achievement.

The year 11 GCSE and 6th form A level students have performed their Drama coursework. The range of work was superb and it was great to see so many of the boys not just performing but also involved backstage. Well done to Sam, Louis, James and Harry in year 11, Sam and James in year 12 and Conor in year 13. we hope to be able to add some photographs soon.


Following on with the Drama theme, a couple of our lads have done really well in the Mid Somerset Festival. William was highly commended for his singing and Oli was second in his category with Distinction. This is awesome considering both boys were in their first ever festival.

Just before half term, we held our annual Valentine's Dinner which this year raised over £500 for our house charity - Coppafeel. A superb meal was created by our catering team and 44 couples thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

On Friday we welcomed the year 9 boarders from other houses for some fun and games. Lots of laughter was shared as they all threw themselves into the daft games designed by Mr Harding.



Play lends a hand

The infamous After Eight game


Earlier in the day on Friday, Mr Harding was soaked...but it was all for a good cause. The PR decided they could raise money for Comic Relief if they could get staff members to agree to getting a good soaking if the right amount of money was paid. And it was!
