Housemaster’s Words
The Lent term always seems to fly by; it only seems like yesterday we were still in the depths of winter with the long nights, cold and miserable weather. Long leave always seems to be the tipping point, spring arrives and the mood around Loveday lifts. We have had another busy term, academically; our exam year groups have worked well preparing for the summer and everyone has settled into a steady work routine. Our House sports teams have performed very well, winning 3 out of the 8 cups available this term. The charity weekend was a fantastic fun and I now have a new favourite sport—Battle Archery! I wish everyone a happy Easter break, and hope all of the exam year groups can get some good revision done.

The junior house cross country was a huge success for the house. Loveday were the first house to have everyone finished and, as a result, had us finish in first place over 70 places ahead of Cubitt in second. Third were North, and fourth were East. Those from Loveday in the top 10 were: James Walker (1 st 15:45), Mark Walker (5th 18:04), Oliver Clift (6th 18:14) and Alex Hughes (9th 19:37). The race was over a course that took the runners round the school on a 4.76km run. Everyone gave their everything and it was a great event.

STONESETT—Champions Stoneset. A tournament of resilience, decisiveness and perseverance. Three characteristics each and every Loveday participant carried throughout the competition; therefore coming away with a commanding first place and 100% win record. Nothing but energy, passion and intensity was shown throughout each match with a strong team and work ethic from everyone; even from those who may not always represent the house at sport. Overall, a brilliant afternoon with a seriously strong contingent of Loveday boys supporting—Ben Claxton
