This week saw the nation commemorate Armistice Day. In normal years, we work with many of our partner primary schools on a remembrance project which includes a visit to the war memorial at St James’. This year this wasn’t possible. However, a small number of Severn Vale students representing the uniformed cadets did participate in a small, socially distanced remembrance service, laying a wreath at the War Memorial to commemorate those who have fallen in the service of their country.

I am grateful to the staff and students involved for the mature and thoughtful way they represented the school.

In school the staff and students commemorated the day with a 2 minute silence which was impeccably observed.
