On Wednesday 11th November at 11am, students and staff, gathered together by our memorial garden to observe a two minute silence to remember those who have given their lives during conflict. The school community bowed their heads as the silence was introduced by Mr Patterson playing the 'Last Post'.
Following the silence, Head Girl, Nadine Scarlett, recited the poem 'Remember Me', by Harry Riley and Head Boy, Ciaren Jones, laid a poppy wreath next to the Lealands memorial tree. A representative from each tutor group stepped forward and planted poppies and poppy crosses alongside the wreath.
Students were given access to the garden for the remainder of the day, if they wished to lay their poppies privately.
Following the event, Headteacher, Mr Burridge said, “The Remembrance service was a very moving occasion. Our memorial garden was surrounded by a thousand students and staff who showed great respect and dignity in remembering those who have and are still sacrificing so much for us”.
