Clifton It’s been a fantastic year for Clifton house, triumphing in nearly every aspect of school life. We started the year by strengthening our tutor group with the superb additions of Mrs Hall and Mrs Hempsall. The Clifton girls have had a particularly successful year with the senior girls claiming the hat-trick, winning the three major house sporting events: hockey, netball and rounders. Quite an achievement! This is thanks to the eager help of the many members of the house who are part of the first XI teams. The junior girls followed in the older girls’ footsteps, competing well with great house spirit in all events. Finally all Clifton girls came together and dived into the swimming gala, making it into the competitive finals and taking the bronze medal. Sports day was sadly cancelled due to adverse weather however the junior boys took the crown in house athletics. Throughout the house the boys took part in every interhouse event and despite missing out on victory they had inspirational team spirit and made the house proud. There was a large turnout for the inter-house cross country. Clifton came together and showed its true colours (yellow for gold of course!) as the senior and junior boys and the senior girls truly champed the cross country. One of our favourite events is the interhouse singing. This year Clifton blasted the judges with an enthusiastic performance of Dynamite by Taio Cruz. Outrageously Clifton kept its streak of not placing despite the passionate display. However it still brought great fun and truly demonstrated the house spirit; many like to say we were definitely the loudest! Once again, as a strong academic house, Clifton actively participated in house debating and the school challenge.
