3rd November 2026
Remembrance Day
Dear Parents/Carers,
In preparation for Remembrance Day on Wednesday 11th November 2026, children will have the opportunity to purchase a Remembrance Day Poppy and merchandise, these will be brought round to classes by Year 6 pupils on the following dates:
Monday 9th November – Year 3, 4, 5 & 6
Tuesday 10th November – EYFS/Year 1 and Year 2
If you wish your child to purchase a poppy, or other Remembrance memorabilia, please provide them with a small donation; a minimum of 50p donation is recommended.
The Remembrance slap bands will be on sale in the front playground after school on Tuesday 10th November, for a minimum donation of £1.50.
Can we please remind parents that any slap bands purchased are not allowed to be brought into school.
We will be holding our Remembrance Day Assembly on Wednesday 11th November, which will include poetry readings and we encourage the children to wear their poppy to assembly if they have one.
We are very proud to be supporting this worthy cause.
Kind regards
Uphill Village Academy
