We came together today to remember all of those who have given their lives in our honour. We remember those who lost their lives on active service in all conflicts; from the beginning of the First World War right up to the present day.
Our fantastic school choir also opened the Service with 'We'll Meet Again'. We thought about the ongoing war in Ukraine and prayed for the people of Ukraine.
Our students and Cadets alongside Mrs Brown, Curriculum Leader for History, shared special poems, readings and reflections.
Year 9 students, Ellie and Daisy, read their own poetry that they had written in their English classes recently when studying about war poetry.

Marching on with pride
Determination was key
A war fought for glory
But ended in misery
The planes flew overseas
Building and battling the fight
They were a family together
Many went away night by night
Young men went in strong
But yet came out weak
With strength 'til the end
They died in conditions bleak
They shall not grow old
As they lie there on the field
Escaping to the trenches
Using them as their shield
They lie up in the sky
Watching down on their loved one
With the brightness up above
For them the sun has shone
Lest we forget
Their legacy lives on.
By Ellie
We will remember them,
We will remember the brave souls who walked this earth,
We will remember the sacrifice they made to protect our flesh
They shall not be forgotten,
The foe will not silence their voices,
England will remember them
Sorrow remains in our hearts,
Yet glory shines upon our hearts,
The fallen will be remembered throughout the coming years.
By Daisy
