Today, at 11:00am, we observed two minutes’ silence as a school community to mark Remembrance Day. This special moment took place at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the time when the First World War came to an end in 1918. Together, we reflected and prayed in silence for the brave men and women who have given their lives in service to their country and for all those affected by war and conflict.

As part of Year 5’s Remembrance Assembly this afternoon, pupils created a beautiful Memorial Garden. Every child made a poppy and placed it into the soil as a symbol of remembrance, gratitude and hope for peace. The garden stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by others and reflects our commitment to keeping their memory alive for future generations.

"At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them."
