UAH, like all schools within our fmaily, once again took time to pause and reflect upon the sacrifice made by those affected by war. Throughout the last two weeks, poppies were on sale at the Library, with some of our Prefects also going round to sell them to tutor groups.
School Council created our annual window display, which this year also features crocheted poppies created by the Academy’s Knit and Natter group.
Years 8 – 10 attended assemblies focused on the theme of Remembrance and Year7 attended a special assembly in the Hall, which featured readers from the year group, music from Chamber Choir singing a setting of In Flanders Fields and the assembly was also attended by pupils from uniformed groups, including Army, Sea and RAF cadets, Scouts and Guides.
The school observed the two minutes silence which ended with pupils listening to The Last Post.
The school was really pleased to also send representatives to the RBL Memorial service at the War Memorial in Holbeach. Seven pupils who had visited the battlefields in Ypres earlier this term attended the service and were also invited to lay a wreath.
