The KAA house competitions started with a flourish as over a hundred students took part in the House Music finals on Thursday 20th October.

The first major house competition of the year saw each house perform a song of their choice to our special guest judges, vocal coach Emily Gant, singer & songwriter Maria Moss, and music producer Likkle Dotz. The students performed for each year group throughout the day, before the final judged performance in lessons 5 & 6.

Each house was tasked with creating a mashup including at least one verse in a randomly assigned European language, to celebrate European Languages Month in September. All four houses performed their mash ups with passion and energy, impressing the guest judges from start to finish.

In tutor time on the last day of half term the results were announced, with Honeyball taking first place for their “Greatest Showman” mashup with Spanish verses. Pankhurst placed second and were awarded 15,000 house points, Angelou received 10,000 points for third place, and Franklin won 5,000 points for their fourth place entry.

Our thanks to Miss Cockell and Mr Rigby for their work with students across the half term to create our best house music competition to date. Honeyball won first place, taking them into the lead for the 2022-2023 house cup at the end of the Autumn 1 term. Many congratulations to Miss Kruk and the entire Honeyball team!

Videos of all four performances will be made available to watch after the half term break on the KAA YouTube channel. For a sneak peak of the house competitions coming up in Autumn 2, check out the latest update from the Heads of House on our channel.
