Remembrance Day – Lest We Forget

On Remembrance Sunday, Mrs Peear, along with our Head Boy and Head Girl, was honoured to attend the Maldon Town Remembrance Service. During the service, they laid a wreath on behalf of our whole school community.

To mark Remembrance Day and honour the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our freedom, we held a whole-school assembly where we reflected on the importance of remembering those who gave their lives in times of conflict. We joined together in a two-minute silence as a mark of respect and gratitude. The day also included a special Remembrance Day lunch wonderfully put together by our catering team. 

Pupils also created thoughtful artwork to commemorate the occasion, expressing their understanding of remembrance, peace and hope.

As a Catholic school, Remembrance Day provided an opportunity to reflect on our faith and the teachings of Jesus, particularly the values of love, compassion, forgiveness and peace. We remembered those who have suffered through war and prayed for all those affected by conflict, asking God to guide us in building a world where peace and understanding can flourish.
