HOUSE R EPORTS
Dronfield
We welcomed seventeen new girls to Dronfield at the start of the year, joining us from various parts of North Yorkshire, and from around the globe. Sport is for everyone, and is a great way to be a part of the wider school community. There has been much to celebrate for those representing the House or the school, or indeed on a personal level. Niamh, Ellen and Sophie played U18 Hockey, and reached the North Tier 4 Finals. Emily and Sophie played Eton Tennis, and Jamie was girls’ no.3 at Squash. On Sports Day Catherine came a close second in the Senior Girls’ 100m, and we won the Inter-House Badminton – well done to Jasmine, Serena, Emily and Jamie. We reached the semi-final of the Inter-House Hockey, and had a good number of Dronfield girls participating in the Cross Country event. Lydia started rowing (and coxing), and Hope was selected for the Yorkshire U18 Girls Rugby Squad.
“There has been much to celebrate for those representing the House or the school, or indeed on a personal level.” There has been plenty of involvement in the creative arts, with lots of music making evident over the year. Laura and Anna W sang beautifully at the start of our House Chapel, and the whole House were in good voice for the House Singing Competition. Emily reached the junior music finals in three categories, and was highly commended for her flute playing in a strong woodwind group. Sirui achieved a merit for her ARSM Diploma. On a daily basis it has been lovely to hear the dulcet tones of music practice in the House. Emily, Isabel, Charlotte, Oenone, Ester and Anna W took part in the annual cabaret concert, with Anna singing a solo with the Swing Band.
