Remembrance Day

Poppies are available for students to buy from the Library, and visitors can get them from Reception. Poppies can be bought using cash only – there is no minimum donation.

Students will learn about the importance of Remembrance Day in PSHE lessons, and a silence will be held on Tuesday 11 November.
