 Walton House Report

 

It is with great pleasure that the house thanks and congratulates its members on their fine achievements during this past year, although with a greater effort we could perhaps have done better still.  Last year we won the Boys' Games Cup (Handforth Cup) and the cross-country Championship Cup; the latter we retained this year, the former we are leading at the half-way stage.  Our swimming team put up a very good effort and the result of second, reflects the determination with which we fought.  The report, however, would not be complete without one reference to the Merit Trophy.  So far the results have been against us, but with that little extra push I believe we can regain this trophy.

The House would like to thank its members of staff for their continued support, and in particular Miss Singleton and Mr. Tempest, who are unfortunately leaving the school.    I am sure that they have our sincere thanks for the past and our best wishes for the future.

Continuing in this vein we would also like to thank all officers of the House and all who have helped to make this a very good year for Walton.

We must remember always that in sport or lessons that it is not the winning that counts but the taking part and the giving of your very very best.

S. Bailey and E. Shaw (Sec.)
