The silence was led into by Mr Patterson, playing ‘The Last Post and Reveille’, whilst the school community bowed their heads to remember those who have given their lives during conflict.

Following the silence, Head Girl, Saruna and Head Boy, Robbie recited a poem for Remembrance Day and headteacher, Mr Burridge, laid a poppy wreath next to the memorial tree.

One by one, a student from each tutor group laid a poppy cross in the garden next to the wreath.
