Yesterday, St Edmund’s Catholic Academy came together as a whole school as part of our Remembrance Assembly in honor of the sacrifices made by our brave Service men and women.

It was a moving Assembly with readings read by both students and staff. Pupils came up to the front and laid a poppy in front of the commemorative display, along with the name of the soldier they’d like to remember.

Adria Dongo Year 11 played the violin beautifully and Mr Lloyd showed his hidden talent by playing the trombone along with Catriona Roberts who played the piano.

We’d like to thank all students and staff for taking part and also those who have helped organise such a lovely Service.

Deborah Ferris, Lay Chaplain added: “The students were very respectful and a credit to our school.”
