Each year, Armistice Day provides an important opportunity for our schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reflection and gratitude. For BET students the commemorative activities are more than just ceremonies—they are educational experiences that help students understand the significance of sacrifice, bravery, and resilience. On Sunday 10and Monday 11 November, Bohunt staff and students marked the day with a range of activities across our communities.
At The Costello School, Costello Cadets joined the parade to remember those who fell.. They started the parade outside the United Reformed Church at the top of Basingstoke, marching with others to the War Memorial Park. Student Ana P was dressed in a 1920s girl guide uniform and re-enacted a scene as part of the ceremony.
Students from Bohunt Horsham took part in a Remembrance Day parade and head students from Bohunt Farnborough and Bohunt School also laid wreaths at a Remembrance Day service.
Stewart Vaughan, Headteacher at Priory School, attended a Remembrance service with head students. Student volunteers from the school also spent their break times selling poppies to students and staff. Theo, in year 10 at Steyning Grammar School played The Last Post, followed by a two-minute silence from the school community.
At The Petersfield School, TPS Scouts, Air and Army Cadet representatives led the two-minute silence, accompanied by a performance of The Last Post from Hunter S.
Staff from Bohunt Wokingham joined their local Remembrance service to lay a wreath and at Bohunt School Worthing, students made Remembrance poppy pledges to remember and reflect on those who gave their lives in service.
