The St. Julie's school community have marked Armistice Day with a ceremony of Remembrance.

Staff and students gathered in the Peace Garden shortly before 11am for a ceremony which opened with reflections on the history of the poppy symbol and it's association with Remembrance, with readings and prayers from members of our 1804 Society.

Wreaths were then laid by representatives from each Year Group. As the Last Post sounded our flag was lowered to half mast by students representing the RAF Air Cadets, and a minute silence was started with the symbolic blowing of a whistle, echoing the signal heard in the trenches of the Great War to go 'over the top' and into enemy fire. 

The perfectly observed period of silence was ended with the tolling of the peace bell.

We would like to thank everyone who prepared for and took part in the ceremony.
