Rememberance

Students at The Appleton School have been learning about the importance of Remembrance in preparation for the upcoming Remembrance services across the nation on Sunday 12th November. Students have been finding out about the 2023 British Legion Poppy Appeal which this year is commemorating the importance of honouring service. As part of these special assemblies the Senior Prefect team, led by our Head Prefects Bevan and Kira, gave details about the service of the Benfleet fallen from WWI, with Serisha, Millie and Sophie reading examples of war poetry including John McCrae’s ‘In Flanders Fields.’ Year 7 students then took part in the planting of poppy crosses in the school garden to mark the The Appleton School’s act of remembrance. The school community will also hold a two minute silence on Friday 10th November at 11am.
