Kennet School came together on Armistice Day to honour those who served and sacrificed.

Pupils who attend Army Cadets, the Thames Valley Police Cadets Programme, Sea Cadets, Combined Cadet Force, Rangers and Young Leaders (Girl Guides), Explorers (Scouts) and Air Cadets stood at the front of the school as a Sixth Form student played the Last Post. The whole school then observed a two-minute silence.

Every Year 7 pupil also made an origami poppy, with the poppies adorning the school’s entranceway as a shared tribute.

Mr M Gayler, Acting Headteacher, commented: "We are proud of the respect our pupils and staff showed as we came together to remember. From the Last Post to our Year 7 poppies, pupils helped us mark this important occasion with a lot of care and dignity."

The occasion gave the whole school community time to pause and reflect on the lives affected by conflict, ensuring that the sacrifices of past generations continue to be remembered by the next.
