Uphill Pupils pay their respects at Remembrance service

Pupils from Uphill Village Academy proudly represented their school at the annual Uphill Village Remembrance Service, joining members of the local community to pay their respects and remember those who have served and sacrificed for their country.

The academy’s Year 6 House and Vice Captains attended the moving service, where they demonstrated maturity, confidence and respect. As part of the commemoration, the pupils joined together to read a poem, making a thoughtful contribution to the occasion and representing their school brilliantly.

Back at school, the whole academy community came together for a special Remembrance assembly. Children and staff took part in the traditional two-minute silence, providing an opportunity for everyone to reflect, remember and consider the importance of Remembrance.

Children across all year groups behaved with great respect and understanding throughout the assembly, demonstrating compassion and an appreciation of the significance of the occasion.

A spokesperson for Uphill Village Academy said: “We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 House and Vice Captains for the way they represented the academy at the village Remembrance Service.

“They spoke with confidence and respect, and their contribution was a wonderful way to honour those who have served our country.

“It was also lovely to see our whole school community come together in such a thoughtful and respectful way. Remembrance provides an important opportunity for our children to reflect on the past, understand the importance of peace and show gratitude to those who have made sacrifices for others.”
