The Remembrance service today was very special, it was amazing to meet so many veterans wearing their OBE, MBE and war medals. Our pupils were so respectful and they were complimented over and over on how they presented themselves andtheir manners. The year 11 senior leaders were a credit to the school, they clearly read passages to the whole school and visitors. Many of the visitors were in their 90s and have been on the frontline of war, it is hard to take this in and to have such first-hand accounts of what life was like, this is something we truly need to treasure. The Royal British Legion and the local mayor were amongst our guests.
