On Sunday, a group of our pupils proudly represented the school at the local Remembrance Day parade in Banstead.
Joining members of the local community, the children marched along Banstead High Street to the War memorial, where they observed the national Two Minutes’ Silence, providing a moment to honour members of the Armed Forces and civilians who have lost their lives in wars and conflict. This was followed by a remembrance service and wreath laying ceremony at the War Memorial.
Taking part in the parade gave our pupils an important opportunity to learn about the meaning of remembrance beyond the classroom. Events such as these help children understand the sacrifices made by previous generations and the importance of showing gratitude, respect and compassion.
We are incredibly proud of all the children who attended and represented the school so thoughtfully. Their participation helped continue a longstanding community tradition and ensured that the spirit of remembrance remains strong for future generations.
Lest we forget.
