Alex Stead Cam Robson Trophy for Inter House activities Andrew Welsh Chris Green Trophy for Excellence George Howard Kim McCoy Cup for Leadership I would like to conclude by thanking the Somes parent community for your ongoing support of the House in 2023 and especially the individual support you provide for your son. The encouragement the boys receive at home and the support and feedback from pastoral and academic staff at school combine to help them grow into the fine young men we can all be proud of. I would finally like to thank George Howard and Duncan Fletcher for their leadership this year. George and Duncan have led the boys fantastically, navigating change positively and with professionalism. They and every boy in Somes House can be proud of their efforts this year.

HOUSE PRIZE-GIVING This year, the House prize-giving was combined with the annual dinner, and held in the Dining Hall, creating a rather formal air to proceedings. It was great to share the boys’ successes, hard work, and talents with the wider House community.
