05 QUARTERS AND COMPETITIONS

Omnia is part of our broader commitment to bring pupils across our two youngest year groups closer together, regardless of whether they board in The Berrystead or are day pupils in Scott House.

As well as their House, all First and Second Formers will belong to a Quarter for certain competitive events, including those in Omnia. Using constellations as our inspiration, each Quarter will be named after a grouping of stars which can be seen from the northern hemisphere. Within the Omnia programme will be a termly competitive event and social occasion for both year groups, to which parents will be invited.

Working with our Head of Charities, pupils will design, create and run stalls in support of their chosen charity. From acting out human fruit machines or opting for the ever-popular ‘soak the teacher’, pupils’ ingenuity, leadership and creativity will be put to the test for a good cause.

LENT TERM: OMNIA ON STAGE

Pupils will take to the stage in all manner of guises, from public speaking and debating to Inter-Quarter singing. The event will dovetail with the annual Second Form Shakespeare Day while also providing a fabulous opening act for Senior House Singing on Sunday.

SUMMER TERM: SPORTS DAY

The last Saturday of the first half of term is the perfect opportunity for a bespoke Inter-Quarter Sports Day, with pupils competing across a wide range of events.
