Final Assembly 2023
AssemblyWhole School

The final Whole School Assembly of the academic year was held in the Prize Giving Marquee on Tuesday 27 June - the penultimate day of term. It provided the opportunity to recognise those pupils who have achieved academically, and in the arts and sport this year. 

There were a number of awards including colours, commendations and blazers which were handed out to pupils across the College. For the senior pupils, it was a great way to draw to a close their time at Shiplake while for the younger pupils, many of them will be inspired by what can be achieved.
