Circuit of Bath Walk

The Hall House boarders in years 9 to 11 participated in the annual Circuit of Bath Walk in aid of the local hospice Julian House.  It was great for the boys to get out and walk parts of Bath they would not usually walk.  The weather threatened to rain but was actually very kind to them as you can see from the photographs below.

Year 9 and 12 Camping Trip

Our boarders in year 9 and 12 were lucky enough to go camping this weekend. The trip arranged by Mr Davies and accompanied by other staff, was in the Forest of Dean and the boys had great fun  with the boarders from the other house. The weekend included a barbecue, singing around the camp fire, raft building and abseiling.  The boys all arrived home safely earlier today and were VERY tired!

WELCOME BACK!

It is great to see everyone back safe and sound and also we welcome our new boys to the house.  Everyone has settled in really well and I look forward to posting lots of pictures over the forthcoming weeks celebrating the boys achievements and giving details of weekend activities.


This weekend lots of boys participated in our block fixture of rugby matches against local rivals KES of which we won the majority of matches. Well done fellas!


Following on from that, I was thrilled to see so many of the boys involved in House Music on Sunday and this year WE WERE CROWNED CHAMPIONS!  The boys (along with the girls from Fonthill) gave a sterling rendition of the classic, "I'm a Believer" and the result was never in doubt.


Special mention should also go to Hugo, Tayo and Avyash who played drums, trumpet and guitar in the house ensemble group with their rendition of the Amy Winehouse version of "Valerie".  House Music was a great way to start the year and once again, well done to all who took part.

Art and Design exhibition

The Art and Design exhibition has been on since the grand opening on Saturday 2nd July.  It was great to see so many exhibits from the boys included and I was especially pleased to see that we had Gold and Silver award winners.  Below are some photographs of the boys' work.  Well done to everyone who was involved!

Some of the boarders enjoyed a trip to Cotswold Water Park this Sunday. As you can see from below, Lico had great fun!

Latest news

The boys enjoyed a trip to Swindon last weekend to go trampolening and then spend some time at the Great Western factory outlet.  As you can see from the photographs below they had a great time.

There has been lots of news since the last post on this blog and I hope to add many more photographs over the next few days of the many events including the House Cross Country.
