Students from Duke of Lancaster proudly represented the school at the Remembrance Service in Fakenham, with some students helping to create our school wreath and others having the honour of laying it during the service.
We were incredibly proud of the respect and maturity shown by our students. It was particularly special to receive such positive feedback from members of the local council and public, who praised both the wreath and the exemplary behaviour of the students.
Remembrance was marked across the school too, through lessons, talks, reflection and silence, giving all students an opportunity to learn about the importance of Remembrance. There were even special poppy biscuits at lunchtime!
We would like to thank Fakenham Town Council for inviting us to be part of this important community occasion, as well as the family members who attended and supported our students.
Oscar, a Year 10 student who laid the wreath, reflected on the experience:
“I wasn’t really sure how it made me feel because I had lots of different emotions at the same time. It made me think about why we were there, but I was also really proud of myself for representing the school and laying the wreath.”
