On Wednesday 11th November, students and staff across Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT) came together to honour and remember those who have lost their lives in conflict. Across our school communities, pupils of all ages paused to pay their respects through quiet reflection, creative tributes, and formal ceremonies.
At 11:00am, students and staff across the entire Trust united to observe the national two-minute silence as a shared act of remembrance. Alongside this collective pause, many students took part in meaningful community and uniformed tributes. Some visited their local cenotaph to deliver a moving reading of the poem “Forget Us Not”, while others who had represented their schools at Sunday Remembrance services proudly wore their Army, Air, and St John Ambulance Cadet uniforms into school. Elsewhere, commemorations were marked by a poignant solo performance of The Last Post and a formal Cadet parade led by secondary students.
Our youngest learners also explored the significance of the day through age-appropriate creative activities. In our nurseries, children got hands-on with paints, felt-tip pens, and crayons, and worked together to draw poppies on their interactive whiteboards.
We are incredibly proud of the maturity, respect, and thoughtfulness demonstrated by all our students across the Trust as they paid tribute to past and present service members.
Lest we forget.
