The Senior School came together for this year’s House Singing Competition – and, as always, it did not disappoint. Each House delivered an incredible performance under the theme of British Values. Pupils took to the stage in their Houses and sung their hearts out – loud, proud and in (nearly) perfect harmony! Staff and students performed side-by-side with confidence, energy, and plenty of enthusiasm. Every performance brought something different, and it was clear how much effort and commitment had gone into the rehearsals.
One of the most rewarding aspects of House Singing is its ability to bring everyone together. Pupils from all year groups collaborate to sing a single piece, with each person contributing their part to a shared performance. It’s a rare opportunity for the entire House to unite in a common goal, fostering a strong sense of belonging and teamwork. For Lower House pupils, House Singing offers a particularly valuable experience, the chance to perform beyond their immediate peer group and participate in their Senior School House.
The friendly competition between Houses adds an extra layer of excitement, encouraging pupils to support one another and take pride in their collective effort. The atmosphere was buzzing and the performances were packed with personality. It was a great reminder of just how much talent we have at Cokethorpe.
Our judges, Miss Wilcox and Mrs Watson, had the difficult task of choosing the winners — every performance was brilliant — but in the end, it was Swift House who were crowned the winners with their performance of This Is Me from the Greatest Showman. Congratulations to all our performers for an afternoon full of energy, pride, and community — a true celebration of Cokethorpe spirit!
