Sports
Sport at Bishop Luffa is a very important part of the school, with sports competitions taking place every week. The competitions or matches are either 'interhouse' (where students from one house or a particular form within that house play other students from other houses or forms) or externally, against other schools.
At the end of the year all the points from the interhouse competitions are totalled (the points being 1=8th 2=7th ... 7=2nd 8=1st), and the house with the most points are awarded with an interhouse trophy.
Additionally, at the end of the year there is a Sports Day, in which students in years 7-10 participate. This is one of the biggest events in the school calendar, alongside others such as the Sixth Form Fashion Show and Charity Weeks. In the last five years King House have won four times; however last year Sherborne broke their winning streak and took first place.

—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“In the end, I think you really only get as far as you’re allowed to get.”

“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
