The final Whole School Assembly of the academic year took place in the Prize Giving Marquee on Tuesday 30 June, the penultimate day of term. The occasion was a chance to recognise and celebrate pupils’ achievements across a wide range of areas, including academics, the arts and sport.
A number of awards were presented to pupils from across the College, including colours, commendations and blazers. For the senior pupils, the assembly was a fitting way to mark the end of their time at Shiplake, while for younger pupils, it served as an inspiring reminder of what can be accomplished through hard work, commitment and enthusiasm.
