HOUSE R EPORTS
Clifton Many (especially Cliftonities) would say it has been a fantastic year for Clifton House in nearly every aspect of school life. We started the year by bolstering our tutor group with the lovely Dr Boddy who has guided the Fifth Form through a trying and important year of GCSEs. The Clifton girls have had a pretty successful year yet again and typically placed in the top 3 in most House events. Quite an achievement! This consistency was not only with results but with enthusiastic attitude put into the Inter-House sporting events. This is thanks to the eager help of the many members of the House who are part of the first XI teams and the extraordinary number of sport captains in the upper sixth. The junior girls followed in the older ones’ footsteps, competing well with great House spirit in all events. Finally all Clifton girls came together and dived into the swimming gala with some incredible new school records set by several girls in the House. For the first time in 5 years a full school sports day was held and it was worth the wait. The junior and senior boys in particular excelled on the field coming 2nd in both competitions. In an amazing performance the senior boys won the Inter-House rugby in a spectacular event. Throughout the House the boys jumped to take part in every Inter-House event. Despite occasionally missing out on victory they had inspirational team spirit and made the House proud. There was a large, enthusiastic turnout of Cliftonities for the Inter-House cross country. It’s important that we all come together
