A huge thanks to our whole community who observed the national minute’s silence in school today. The respect and attitude shown by our students was exemplary and a fitting tribute. For the first time this year, we invited students to wear their uniforms of cadets or voluntary organisations and this is something we are planning to repeat in future years.

These students met together to observe the silence in the Rosling. They also heard from Isaac in Y10 who read the poem ‘The Son’ by Clifford Dyment that explores Dyment’s feelings decades later after losing his father at Amiens in World War One. Mr Sheppard also spoke of the contribution of the Sheffield Pals and read the testimony of Reg Glenn.  

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
