I am so shocked to have just heard this such sad news! I will always be forever grateful as a parent for the tremendous care that he took of both Charlotte and Tom during their time in Courtauld House. He was never too busy to listen to any worries and always had a calm and caring answer. As a colleague, I will remember Mark for talking a huge amount of sense and having a fantastic sense of humour.
My heart goes out to Gill, Luke and Toby. Sending lots of love xxx

My memories of Mark...
A real man of principle
The ability to hold the attention of and captivate hundreds of pupils, often with little warning
The most reluctant yet the best public speaker I have ever come across
The ability to make anxious parents feel calm and confident
He really looked after his team
A glass of white wine with a curry - class
An outstanding pastoral leader
Seeing him dressed up as Robin...he did not like dressing up
Family came first
A very proud dad and husband
A real inspiration
And so on and so forth....

As the heart of Courtauld House, Mr Stringer made Years 7&8 a truly special time at Felsted. Calm leadership brought out the best in children. Forever grateful. Taken too soon. Our thoughts are with you Gill, Luke & Toby. X
