Honouring Bravery and Sacrifice: Our Remembrance Day 2026
Today, our entire school community stood united to honour the extraordinary bravery, selflessness, and sacrifice of those who served. The day was defined by a profound spirit of reverence, creativity, and pride as students and staff joined together to ensure the memory of our heroes lives on.
In the lead-up to Remembrance Day, drums were prominently displayed in the Scott Suite as part of our commemorative reflections.
At 10:45 am, the school gathered on the blue astro pitch for a moving service led by Mr Oakes. Our Poet Laureate, Esther, set a soulful tone with an original poem before the entire campus fell silent for two minutes at 11:00 am to pay quiet respect to those who gave everything for our freedom.
Following the silence, Head Student Nicole, our House Captains, and a Combined Cadet Force representative laid poppy wreaths. Adding to the moment, uniformed members of the CCF, RAF, Army Cadets, Sea Cadets, St John Ambulance Cadets, and Scouts marched in a special parade, standing as proud symbols of duty and service.
This year’s commemoration was an unforgettable experience that brought history into the present. The passion and creativity shown across our school ensured that the legacy of those who fought for our peace remains a guiding light for future generations.
Lest we forget.
