Remembrance Day

Today we celebrated Remembrance Day with our annual ceremony in the Quad attended by our Sheldon Student Leadership Team, staff, history students, Cadets, Scouts and Guides. This is a moment for our school community to come together in reflection and respect, to honour everyone in the Sheldon community who has served in the armed forces, past and present.

Thank you to our Sixth Form Presidents and Head Students for joining Mr Lynch in performing readings at the ceremony, along with members of the Sheldon Brass Group for playing the Last Post. We'd also like to thank our DT department for creating our Remembrance Day display and to all the students in Year 7 who created poppies during tutor time. There is also an extraordinary poppy dress designed by our Fashion & Textiles students on display in Reception.

We'd also like to thank all of our Prefects and Sixth Form volunteers for helping to sell poppies during tutor time over the last week to raise funds for the Royal British Legion. Students have also been learning more about Remembrance Day through tutor time activities and assemblies. 

We are very lucky at Sheldon School to have an active Service Pupil Champion who helps provide support and enrichment for children of active service members so that they are able to thrive both academically and personally. Click here to learn more about how we support Service Pupils.
