HOUSE REPORTS
Pennell House As another new school year commences, eight new faces walk through the Pennell doors. As we get ever closer to the much-anticipated exeat, the memory of our second place finish in this year’s house singing competition does not diminish. As Murray and Bertie continue to help the year 9’s with their spin on the Three Little Pigs for the house drama competition, our confidence in Pennellian’s ability to act has gone through the roof as we hope for another podium finish in an inter house competition. Our confidence in Pennell’s rugby ability has, however, gone out of the window alongside the Year 10’s ability to hand their phones in. As well as new Year 9s joining, Pennell welcomes a new resident tutor, Mr Kyle. His enthusiasm has reflected across the house as well as being successful with his U15A rugby side who recently won in the 2nd round of the national vase. Mr Spiers leaving was sad for the whole of Pennell but we wish him well in Wargrave. Overall, Pennell is getting through the year well with morale rising as Christmas is slowly approaching with Mr Jourdain excited to join the boys with the festive singing.
