On Wednesday 11th February 2026 the annual House Competition took place. Great Marlow School came alive with the sound of music as students took to the stage for this year’s much-anticipated House Music Competition. The event showcased an incredible range of musical talent from across all year groups, with students performing to a packed hall of peers, staff and proud supporters.
The standard of performance was exceptionally high, reflecting the dedication, rehearsal time and teamwork demonstrated by all involved. Judges Mr Williams, Miss Russell, Mrs Green, Mr Pightling, Mrs Ben Haj Ali, Mrs Bennett, Mr Hollyman and Mr Yasin were so impressed by the quality of the performances.
The House points were calculated by giving an achievement point to every student who entered and an extra achievement point to the students who won in a particular category. House results were as follows:
- First Place Hawks
- Second Place Kites
- Third Place Eagles
