The parade made its way from the school to Kershaw Close, where a moving remembrance service was held. Members of the local community gathered alongside veterans, uniformed groups, families and children to pay their respects and observe the two-minute silence.

We were incredibly proud to see our pupils playing such an important role in the commemorations. Representatives from the School Council laid a wreath on behalf of the school, while local Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, many of whom are also pupils at our school, proudly laid a wreath in remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The service provided an opportunity for all generations to reflect on the courage, dedication and sacrifice of those who have served in the Armed Forces, ensuring that their memories continue to be honoured.

Following the service, attendees were warmly welcomed back to the school for refreshments kindly provided by our PTFA. The refreshments offered a wonderful chance for families, community members and parade participants to come together, share conversations and continue the spirit of community that makes events such as these so special.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the parade and service, our School Council representatives, the local Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, and our PTFA volunteers for helping to make the afternnoon such a meaningful and respectful occasion.

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