Winterstoke unites in a moving act of Remembrance

Students and staff across both sites at Winterstoke Hundred Academy came together to mark Remembrance Day, paying their respects to the servicemen and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts past and present.

In a powerful demonstration of unity, respect and gratitude, the entire academy stepped out of classrooms to observe the two-minute silence. The moment provided an opportunity for the school community to pause, reflect and remember those who have served, and continue to serve, our country.

The occasion was made particularly special by the students who attended in their service uniforms, proudly representing their respective organisations and demonstrating their commitment to service and remembrance.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the students who took the time to read poems, helping to bring further meaning and reflection to the occasion.

A special thank you goes to Mrs Evans for her deeply moving live performance of The Last Post, which provided a poignant soundtrack to the academy’s act of remembrance.

A spokesperson for Winterstoke Hundred Academy said:

“Remembrance Day is an incredibly important opportunity for our whole academy community to come together, reflect and show our gratitude to the generations who have served and sacrificed so much for our freedom.

We are immensely proud of the respect and maturity shown by our students across both sites. From those wearing their service uniforms to the students who shared their readings, everyone played a part in making this a truly meaningful occasion.

We would also like to thank Mrs Evans for her beautiful performance of The Last Post, which made the moment even more special.”

The academy is incredibly proud of the way students and staff came together to honour the fallen, ensuring that the importance of remembrance continues to be recognised and passed on to future generations.

We will remember them.
