We Will Remember Them

To mark 100 years since the unveiling of the WWI Memorial boards in Big School, we were honoured to welcome Royal Engineer, John Corfield (OW 2009) and RAF Officer, Gurpal Mann (OW 2014), to join us for two special assemblies.

These assemblies were led by Mr David and Mr Taylor who paid tribute to the courageous OWs who had fallen in the First World War. Everyone was invited to turn and face the memorial boards for a moment of reflection whilst Mr Frazer and John read out a verse of the School Song which was added after WWI to remember the fallen. On the boards are the names of 102 OWs who died in the Great War (1914 - 1919).

On Thursday 11th November, the whole school observed a two-minutes silence, to reflect and remember the service and sacrifice of all those who have fallen protecting our freedom. Thank you to Upper Sixth student, Tom Frith, who performed The Last Post for us.
