Old Headboy, Year 8 Leaver

I remember my first day in Year 2. I was extremely nervous. However, everyone was very kind and welcoming to me. During the first couple of weeks, I made a few friends and that number only increased over the months and years to follow. I now have friends for life.

I have had many special memories over the years. The amazing school trips, including Hampton Court in Year 4, Paultons Park in Year 6 and Calshot in Year 8. The fun Maths competitions, including those against Portsmouth Grammar School and Bryanston; and the fantastic 'Intrepidus Week', where we did loads of fun activities and camped overnight!

I am sad that I am leaving Stroud at the end of this year, but I will treasure all the amazing memories and experiences I have had here. I am now ready to face the new challenges that I have ahead of me and all the exams that I will have to do in the future. Thank you, Stroud.
