ACADEMIC MATTERS

Michaelmas Mid-Term Mark Order 2026 – House Summary

Here is a summary of how the Houses performed in the Michaelmas Mid-Term Mark Order. The results are based on each House’s average across D, C and B Blocks, and the margins this term were very close.

Special Mention: Snell House

A special congratulations goes to Snell House, who finished first in this Mark Order with a total of 23.58. Malvern have been the top House in the Mark Order for the past three to four years, so this is a real achievement and a reward for sustained effort across all the blocks. Snell recorded the highest C Block average of any House (8.09) and a strong B Block average (7.83). Well done, Snell!
