Head of Orange House: Mr Kelly
Welcome back, Orange House!
As we move into the second half of the year, I want to remind everyone how proud we are of the effort you’ve shown so far. The hard work, resilience, and determination you’ve put in do not go unnoticed. This is the time to stay consistent, keep pushing and finish the year as strongly as you started it.
We will be having more House competitions as well so make sure to represent our House with pride like you have been doing! There is plenty of time to close the gap with other Houses. We’ve got this!
To Year 11s especially: you are quickly approaching the final stretch before your exams. Stay focused, trust the work you’ve already done and keep giving your best for just a little longer. Every revision session, every lesson and every small effort adds up—and it will pay off in the end.
Head of Red House: Mr Munton
Welcome back Red House.
As our Year 11s embark on their exam season and preparing for their exams, we wish them all of the luck and give them plenty of encouragement to succeed. The hard work and dedication has brought you to this moment, and your resilience will carry you through. Remember, preparation is not just about knowledge; it’s about believing in yourself as much as we all believe in you.
To every other member of Red House – your role is crucial. Through your continued commitment to excellence and support of your peers, you create the foundation that makes our house special. Let your own pursuit of high standards inspire those around you, carrying on the work that the Year 11’s have shown to you all up until this point.
Together, we celebrate each other’s successes. With togetherness, encouragement and resilience we can achieve.

Head of Blue House: Miss Ringrose
Welcome back Blue house !
To all students of Blue House, our reigning champions—stand tall and be proud.
Being champions is not just about the trophies we won last year; it’s about the spirit, discipline, teamwork, and determination that brought us there. Those victories proved something important: when Blue House commits, when we work together, and when we give our best, we excel.
As we look ahead to the remainder of the school term, we have so much to be excited about. Inter-house Sports competition and Sports Day are approaching once again—events where we have already shown the school what excellence looks like. Last year, we didn’t just participate; we dominated.
Each one of you has a role to play—athletes, supporters, leaders, and teammates. Encourage one another. Push one another. Believe in one another. When one of us succeeds, we all succeed.
So Blue House—stay focused, and rise together. The champions are ready. The champions are Blue.
To our Year 11 students of Blue House, we wish you the very best of luck as you move into your new forms and prepare for the challenges ahead. Exams will be here sooner than you think, so now is the time to work hard, stay focused, and remain disciplined. Believe in your abilities, manage your time wisely, and always give your best effort. Blue House is proud of you, and we know you have what it takes to succeed.
Go Blue!
Miss Ringrose
Head of Purple House: Mr Favell
Welcome back, Purple House, to Spalding Academy!
Welcome back, Peake House — 2026 is finally here, and it’s your moment to rise. A new year means a fresh chance to push yourselves, support one another, and show what true determination looks like. Every bit of effort you put in strengthens not just your own future, but the spirit and success of your house and your school.
To our Year 11s: the next six months are huge. They’ll challenge you, shape you, and ultimately prove what you’re capable of. Believe in your hard work, trust your resilience, and give it everything you’ve got. You’re closer than you think.
And to everyone else in Peake House: may 2026 be a brilliant year where you grow, achieve, and shine in ways you never expected. Keep aiming high, keep showing up, and keep being the best version of yourselves.
Peake House — let’s make 2026 unforgettable

Head of Green House: Mr Horner
🎉 Hello Trinity and welcome to 2026! 💚
Quick reality check: we’re already at the halfway point of the academic year. Yep. Mid-season already. If September feels like it happened last week, that’s because time is sprinting and we’re all chasing it in school shoes.
But here’s the good news: the second half is where things get won.
Year 11, this is your moment. Your final exams are on the horizon and they’re not waiting for anyone. Start preparing properly now: revise little and often, be smart with your time, ask for help early, and back yourself. The work you put in over the next few months is what you’ll be celebrating in summer. You’ve got this.
And Green House, I need you loud and present. Keep the Green Machine ticking by getting involved in house competitions, bringing energy, and showing up for each other. We’re not here to “take part” politely. We’re here to take that House Cup back and put it where it belongs: in our trophy cabinet.
Let’s finish this year like we mean it!
Mr Horner
