Farewell

We held the traditional leavers' assembly this morning to say farewell to Year 6 and our colleagues who are moving on. The most hotly anticipated part of the event is revealing the results of the Interhouse competitions which have taken place throughout the year. The Maths Cup was retained by Red Team, Yellow Team won the football, Yellow Team the Rugby, Blue Team the Rounders, whilst Blue won the Sports Day Cup and Yellow won the Team Points Cup which meant that the much coveted Inter House Cup went to – wait for it – Yellow Team. Congratulations to everyone in Yellow Team and to Felix and Alice who have been great captains this year. The Strand Special Award went to Amelia and Sophie M in recognition of the way they exhibit all the qualities we expect in a Strandite, all the while being quietly brilliant – actually Miss Manson is not quiet at all but equally brilliant! Honorable mentions went to George and Felix who were in the running for the award. The Buj Wretham Sporting Trophy was presented by Miss Smith Stevenson, and went to Zack and Masoomeh both for their sporting skill and their outstanding sportsmanship. We also said goodbye to Jennie Crone, Sheila Wigley and Gemma Nosworthy all of whom are starting a new chapter in their lives. We wish them all well. They will be sorely missed.
