Armistice Day Commemoration in Braunton

Yesterday, a group of our Principal Students and representatives from Year 7 had the privilege of attending the annual Armistice Day ceremony in Braunton village, joining members of the local community to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict.

We are incredibly proud of Harry and Marnie, who played an important role in the proceedings by delivering the readings before and after the two-minute silence. Both students represented the school with confidence, maturity and respect, helping to make the ceremony a meaningful occasion for everyone in attendance.

A special thank you also goes to Mrs Legge, who joined us at the village ceremony to perform the Last Post. Her contribution added a poignant and moving element to the service, helping to mark this important moment of remembrance.

Back at school, students and staff observed the two-minute silence together and were privileged to hear Millie in Year 11 perform the Last Post. Millie delivered an outstanding performance, demonstrating both talent and composure, and helping to create a reflective atmosphere across the school community.

As Millie prepares for her final year with us, we would like to thank her for the wonderful contribution she has made to our remembrance services over the years. We are now looking for the next generation of brass musicians to continue this important tradition. If there are any aspiring brass players who would like to follow in Millie’s footsteps and perform at future remembrance events, we would be delighted to hear from them.

Thank you to all of the students and staff who helped make this year's commemorations such a respectful and memorable occasion. Their conduct reflected the values of our school and ensured that the significance of Armistice Day was marked with the dignity it deserves.
