This week we have had a focus on remembrance. Mrs Bullough treated us to a fantastic assembly on the needless waste of life through the entirety of the First World War but particularly in the final days. She turned on her Radio 4 prose for us and set a perfect tone for the week. We then remembered the fallen with our two minute silence on the field that is quickly becoming a tradition at school. Our Head Girl, Sophie Carter read the names of the ex pupils of Maidenhead college who fell during the conflict and Mr Gravett played the last post. On such a still autumnal morning, both the sound of the trumpet and the sound of silence that followed echoed through campus. It was a truly moving moment that highlighted the importance of stopping to remember those who sacrificed so much so we could live the lives we live today. Senior Girls also raised £200 for the poppy appeal that will help the Royal British Legion with their great work in supporting the armed forces community.
