House Hockey Matches

It is House hockey match week.  The year 9 team were unlucky to be beaten by both of our rival houses and the year 10 boys did slightly better only losing to Middle.  Let's hope the 6th form team can replicate the rugby team and win the competition!

Valentine's dinner

On Thursday, we held our annual Valentine's dinner, this year in the Upper Pavilion.  Nineteen 6th form couples were treated to a fantastic menu from our superb catering department which consisted of Camembert baked with garlic and relish, duck rillettes with plum relish served with warm baguette for starter; rib steak, shoestring fries, Bearnaise sauce with garlicky green beans as the main course and profiteroles, lemon tart and clotted cream for desert. Delicious! The boarders were fantastic waiters and Anuj went from table to table mesmerizing our guests with his magic tricks.  Mr Chua and George played live music throughout the evening and we will have made a lot of money for this year's chosen charity - "Help for Heroes".

Hall House Valentine's Dinner

Burns Night

On Sunday 25th January, we celebrated Burns Night with a traditional dinner of haggish neeps and tatties follwed by a ceilidh.  You will see from below what fun the boys all had...

In between dances!

More Hall House captains

For the second term running, Hall House has provided the captains for the main sports being played this term.  Before Christmas Jack and Owen were captain and vice captain of the undefeated first fifteen rugby team and this season Hywel and Parimal are captain and vice captain of the first eleven hockey team who will hopefully be as successful as their rugby counterparts.  Congratulations must also go to Jonathan who has been appointed the captain of the school cross country team.  We are very proud that these boys are from Hall and look forward to hearing and seeing how the term progresses for all of the boys representing the school.

Happy New Year!

As I write this, all of the boys are starting to arrive safely back to the House.  It has felt rather empty these past few weeks and we are looking forward to seeing everyone again and hearing what they have been up to.

Below are some photographs from our House entertainment that took place just before we broke up for Christmas when we went ice skating with our sister house Fonthill.
