Each year, one pupil in Year 6 is chosen to receive the Roger de la Perrelle Ambassador trophy. Roger de la Perrelle, on his retirement as headteacher from Devonshire in 2007, presented the trophy to the School to give an opportunity for special recognition for a Year 6 pupil as he or she leaves Devonshire.
Every single member of staff is invited to cast a vote. The trophy is awarded to someone who, in the eyes of the staff, will prove to be an excellent ambassador for Devonshire Primary School when he or she moves on to High School.

 Competition for this year's Ambassador Trophy was as tough as it has ever been. Once all of the staff votes were counted, the worthy - and very popular - winner was Olivia Appleby. Olivia has such a positive attitude towards everything that she does, both inside and outside of the classroom. She will be sorely missed by children and staff at Devonshire but we are all convinced that she will continue to make a really positive contribution both at her high school and beyond. Congratulations, Olivia.

Lauren Chandler was presented with the Ambassador Trophy in our final assembly of the school year. As ever, there was very stiff competition for this award which is presented to a child leaving Devonshire who, in the opinion of the staff, will be an excellent ambassador for our school. Lauren is a true all-rounder. She got involved in everything at Devonshire, both in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities. Reliable and diligent she never took herself too seriously, possessing a wonderful sense of humour. She also has a truly infectious laugh that will be remembered at Devonshire for many years to come. Along with all of our Y6 leavers, we wish Lauren all the very best as she transfers to high school. |

 As ever, the problem of selecting one single Ambassador Trophy winner from 60 Year 6 children was far from simple. Every member of staff at Devonshire was invited to vote for the student they felt would be a sparkling ambassador for Devonshire Primary as they embark upon their high school career. Amy O'Sullivan was a clear and thoroughly deserving winner. Personal qualities of friendliness, approachability, kindness and empathy, plus a keen sense of humour (often directed against herself) contributed to her success.
The staff would like to wish Amy - and all of the other children who are continuing their learning at a new school in September - every success for a bright, happy and successful future." |

The award of the Ambassador Trophy was a very difficult decision this year with so many outstanding candidates, but the clear winner was the polite, respectful, popular and charming – Joe Massarella.
Well done Joe. We wish you – and everybody else who has left Devonshire this year – all the very best for the future. |
