Today we held our Remembrance Day Service led by our Headmaster Mr Mike Stanley.

It included beautiful songs from our choir, including “In Flanders Fields” and “A Wish For Peace”. There were poignant readings by Year 8 pupils Charlie and Ella, and in front of our Roll of Honour cut glass window, our Year 8s read all of the names of the fallen in wars from our school. Our Head Boy Dudley and Head Girl Freya laid a wreath just before the Last Post and our two-minute silence.

 

We were delighted to welcome some of our parents, including Charlie’s Dad, who attended in full ceremonial dress.
