Year 10 Inter House Dance Competition 2021

Franklin win it again to make it 4 wins in Years 7,8, 9 and 10 in the Inter House Dance Competitions!

On Thursday 18th and Monday 22nd of November, Year 10 pupils competed in the Inter House Dance competitions in their double PE lessons.

This was the first Inter House Dance competition in two years as it did not run last year and it was fantastic to see so many pupils involved and showing off a wide array of Dance skills!

PE teachers who would normally teach each half of the year group used a set criteria to award marks to each act and the pupils who were not performing were asked to vote for their favourite acts in terms of entertainment and choreography.

Each House could have a maximum of 3 entries per year group and acts could be soloists, duets, trios or larger groups depending on how many pupils wanted to be involved. For each person who participated they each received 1 House Point for their efforts and the act which received the most marks received the “Audience Choice” award in each half of the year group (plus 3 additional House Points).

The acts were combined for each half of the year group and the top 3 acts in each year group received 1 additional House Point – 3rd place, 3 additional House Points -2nd place and 5 additional House Points – 1st place.

The Year 10 final positions were as follows – 1st place – Skye N * 10Pa 2nd place – Eloise M 10Fr 3rd place – Lillia S 10Se 4th place – Richa J 10Fr 5th place – Taite H-D 10Se 6th place – Grace H, Jasmine S, Mariama S and Ella P 10Au 7th place – Destiny A 10Ha and Jesse F 10Au (Points shared) *=Audience Choice Vote – (additional 3 HPs each)

This meant that the overall positions for each House group finished as 1st – Franklin – 100 points 2nd – Seacole- 50 points 3rd – Parr – 25 points 4th – Austen – 10 points 5th – Hadid -10 points

A fantastic effort from all of the acts and a wonderful showcase of the dancing talent we have at Bishop’s – well done everyone!

A special thank you to the Drama staff who allowed us to swap teaching spaces so we could hold our competitions in the Main Hall.

And a final thank you to all of the PE staff for taking the time to run this event for the pupils.
