On Friday 25th June, the Upper Sixth celebrated the end of their school days at Francis Holland by enjoying their much-anticipated Leavers’ Dinner.
Held at the school, the girls enjoyed dinner in the beautifully decorated hall following photography opportunities in the courtyard garden. Speeches made by Headmaster, Charles Fillingham, Head of Sixth, Nick Gridelli and Head Girl, Tara Murray praised the hard work demonstrated by the year group and wished everyone much success for the future.
A total of 25 prizes were awarded, including the Polished Corner Prize to Jessica Flood (for most outstanding leaver of 2021), the Parsonson Prize for personal progress to Alicia Lloyd, and the Headmaster’s Prize (for outstanding service to the school as Head Girl) to Tara Murray.
The dinner was also an opportunity for the girls to recognise the efforts made by the Quondam Alumni Association, who contributed towards the costs of the evening, in preparation for their new status as Francis Holland alumnae, or ‘Polished Corners’ as they are historically known.
We wish all UVI leavers’ every success for their future and look forward to welcoming them back to the school as FHS alumnae.
