House Song 2025

The House Song Competition is one of the most memorable and enjoyable events in the annual College calendar as it brings every house together in a vibrant showcase of talent. Pupils perform a song that they choose and rehearse with their selected pupil house leads. Musicality, harmonies, creativity, energy and choreography all count toward the final score.

This year, we are delighted to share a recording of each house’s performance for you to enjoy. Simply click on the house image below to view.

Congratulations to the winners on the night –  Morris (Girls House and Overall Winner), Barton Hill (Boys House) and Summerfield (Mixed House).
