Remembrance Day

At St Edward’s School, we recognise the importance of helping our young people understand the significance of this occasion. It is a time to reflect not only on the lives lost during conflicts, but also on the bravery, resilience and dedication of the service personnel and families whose lives have been affected by war.

The traditional two-minute silence offers a moment of reflection, allowing us to consider the importance of peace, freedom and the opportunities we have today because of the sacrifices made by previous generations.

For our pupils, Remembrance Day is also an opportunity to explore the values of respect, gratitude and compassion. These are values that extend beyond this particular occasion and form an important part of how we support one another within our school community.

As we remember those who have served, we also look towards a future where understanding, kindness and peace remain at the heart of our communities.

We will remember them.
