STUDENTS in Topaz House at Court Fields School in Wellington are celebrating winning the Inter-House Shield for the second year running.

Students participate in many House competitions throughout the academic year, which contribute to the overall total points.

Headteacher Rachael Bennett said: “There are a great variety of competitions students can enter for their House – Maths Challenge, Spelling Bee, Sports Day, Christmas decorations – there is something for everyone. There were only two points between first and second place with Topaz just piping Sapphire House to the post.”

Head of Topaz House Mr Smith congratulated his students on their commitment and participation to secure the win. “Topaz will be working hard this year to get the hat-trick,” he said. “We have lots of new Year 7 students to get involved, so I am very confident we will continue to do well.”
