REMEMBRANCE 2023

We observed a poignant moment of reflection and paid tribute during our Remembrance Service this morning, where a 2-minute silence was held. Our collective thoughts turned to the courageous Armed Forces and their families, additionally, we acknowledged the indispensable role played by the Emergency Services and we remembered all those who have lost their lives due to conflict or acts of terrorism.

Remembrance serves as a profound recognition of the commitment and sacrifice made by the Armed Forces to safeguard our democratic freedoms and way of life. Regardless of faiths, cultures, or backgrounds, we stand united in honouring them.

During the ceremony, our Head Girl placed a wreath at our War Memorial, symbolising our deep respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Additionally, three Year 5 students shared heartfelt letters they had written to honour those who serve in our Armed Forces

It is crucial to emphasise that Remembrance is not a celebration of war; rather, the red poppy represents a hopeful vision for a peaceful future. The service concluded with a moving rendition of Mozart's Amen by Senior School Students, leaving a lingering sense of solemnity and remembrance in the air.
