Remembering our Fallen

Pupils from across the Prep and Senior Schools came together to remember those lost to war during our Remembrance Service on Monday 11 November.

The engaging service at the Senior School was led by Head, Mr Johnson and Rev Helen, while at Prep the service was held by Head of Prep, Mr Morse. Sixth Form students joined the service, remembering those Old Truronians who lost their lives to war in both the First and Second World Wars and in Afghanistan. A cross with a poppy was laid for each, as their names were read in recognition for their sacrifice.

At Prep, pupils gathered in remembrance of those who gave their lives during the great Wars and in service of their country. House Captains laid a wreath during the roll of honour, followed by the ‘Last Post’ played by Mr Pope, and a one minute silence. As they departed, children planted poppies as a tribute.

The services offered a time for reflection on friends, relatives, and all those whose lives have been impacted by war. Together, they remembered lives given for others and allowed pupils a moment to reflect and consider those still affected by conflict today.

On Sunday 10 November, pupils were involved in parades across our county. In Truro, Mr Morse, Mr Chris Rowe (from the Truro School Association) and pupils Oliver and Ben had the privilege of taking part in the Truro Remembrance Sunday Parade. They laid wreaths at the War Memorial to commemorate the fallen and remember those from the Truro School community who have served this country. In Padstow, pupils Issey and Rupert attended the Padstow Remembrance Parade, with the Padstow Sea Cadets – proudly wearing their Sea Cadets uniforms.

Thank you to all pupils who have taken part in parades today and over the weekend and to all the pupils and students who have worn their poppies with pride and respect. A special thanks to our gardening team who created a beautiful dedication on our school lawns.
