On 11/11/2026 at 11:00am, we gathered in the courtyard to observe Armistice Day.

Pupils and staff paused for a two-minute silence to honour all those who served, sacrificed, and gave their lives for our peace and freedom. Poppies and wreaths were laid in tribute, accompanied by a poignant rendition of The Last Post played on the bugle by music teacher Mx Martin. 

The Last Post was originally sounded in the 1790s to signal the end of a soldier’s working day. The bugle call eventually became a powerful symbol of final duty and rest.

As we reflect on the past, today also serves as a solemn reminder of ongoing conflicts around the world. We pause to remember those who fought in past wars, and all the individuals and communities affected by conflict today.
