Talbot's House

Breaking from the Domino's tradition we had burger king take away last night to celebrate the end of another great week. It marked the end of the exam season for our upper sixth, so we celebrated with a champagne breakfast in house to mark their return to lessons today.

In Hockey Matches today we have Kighty and Gabe in the first team, Reidy in the U15A's and Divine playing in the U14C's.

In football Leo is playing for the seconds and the third team might as well be renamed Talbots as we have both Sasha's, Simon, Hodges, J Lo, Nihat and John all playing in one team!

In the merit competition this week we had:

Duncan, Ruslan, Leo, Curtis, Brady, Lennart, and Reidy with 1 merit; Jason and Niklas with 3 merits; but the King of Merits was Divine with four merits and a commendation!!

It wasn't possibly to choose a man of the week this week, because it was a so thoroughly deserved three way tie with Harun, Niklas and Simon having maintained a perfect unbeaten record in the Basketball league this season.

In hockey we will have Jo playing for the under 14D's, Divine in the C's and Reidy in the under 15A's. Gabe and Kight will be playing for the 1st team. Alvin and Adrian will be playing as the first pair in Badminton and in Football we have John and Leo in the 2nds, Khasis, Hodges, Nihat and Sasha P playing for the 3rds and Stephen in the under 16Bs. Lennart and Arthur will be representing us at rowing. If you're local and able to get down to any of these events we'd love to see you there,  I'm sure there will be plenty of the house cheering them on from the side lines too.

This week Harry and Ben both performed in music prizes and Jason made it to 75 (no, that is not a typo) merits!! Absolutely amazing achievements, as were the mock results in the fifth form. Plenty to be proud of, not least of Lennart and Igor achieving 5 A*s each!

Speaking of Merits, this week the King of Merits was Tizian (with four) with Arthur, Leo, Harun and Kighty taking joint second and fourth places.

Our man of the week was Ben for pushing himself to enter two music prizes and coming 3rd in both.

Tomorrow we will be taking over @Bedfordschool_UK's Instagram Stories to show you what the life of a house master at Bedford looks like, so make sure you check it out, and keep an eye on our @talbotshouse account too, for an epic baking club special. Pemberley have been giving us spice on twitter about a bake off. We're pretty sure they won't rise to the challenge, but we're planning something special anyway.
