As in previous years, our children will have special lessons focused on remembrance; the commemoration of Remembrance Sunday; and its place in UK life. They will explore its origins in order to understand its significance. They will learn about the sacrifices made by British and Commonwealth service personnel and their families in the First World War and in other conflicts since. They will honour those who died, and take time to also reflect on the suffering of civilians on all sides of all conflicts as they offer prayers for peace and for an end to all wars and conflicts.
