The ceremony was held at our memorial monument and led by Reverend Kyla Sorenson from St Faith’s. It was attended by 280 Year 7 pupils and 40 sixth formers, who came together to reflect and pay their respects, while students from other year groups joined in a two-minute silence from their classrooms.

Several members of staff and special guests also laid a wreath in remembrance as part of the ceremony, including school governors Tim Allen, Peter Harris and Paul Bland as well as Springwood's Headteacher Andrew Johnson, Gary Walker from the RAF Association, and Pauline Petch.

Abbie Rawlinson, Springwood's Year 7 Pastoral Manager, said: “It is so important to all at Springwood that we mark this occasion with the respect it deserves whilst also allowing our students to do the same. We also take the opportunity to educate our students on the meaning of Remembrance Day and what sacrifices were made.”

Springwood, which is a member of the West Norfolk Academies Trust, has been commemorating Remembrance Day for many years, ensuring each new generation understands the importance of honouring those who served and sacrificed.
