On Friday 11th November the whole school respectfully attended a Remembrance Assembly led by the Performing Arts Department.
It was very informative as we looked at people’s lives from the arts and entertainment world who took part in the wars, such as Wladyslaw Szpilman who wrote the Pianist, Audrey Hepburn, Roald Dahl, Wilfred Owen and Many more.
We listened to a piece of music by Chopin played by Alex Dongo, Jessica Bradley performed contemporary Dance to ‘In Flanders Field’ by Howard Goodall and we all joined in a song called No Man’s Land by Eric Bogle.
Many staff and students found it very moving when the words and music of ‘Do Not stand at my Grave and Weep’ was played.
Mr Lloyd played the last post during the assembly and at 11 0’clock where the whole community stood silently, wherever they were in school for 2 minutes.
We will remember them.
