In the morning of Remembrance Day, we welcomed Kevin Jeffery of the British Legion to the school as we joined in with a live-streamed online assembly hosted by the British Legion in partnership with the National Literary Trust bringing together art, music and veterans’ experiences. This year was the anniversaries of momentous battles and turning points of World War II. At 11 o’clock, we observed a two-minute silence.

In the afternoon, as part of the commemoration of Remembrance Day, the PTFA organized an Armistice Day Tea, extending an invitation to families and friends in the village and beyond, many of whom could recall memories of their wartime experiences.

We were delighted at the attendance for this event held in the school’s hall. Each of the classes had produced a display featuring the poppy as the theme.

Our thanks to the PTFA for organizing the event and to everyone who donated cakes.
