We Will Remember Them

On 11 November 2020 Churcher’s College commemorated Remembrance and Armistice Day with a special service followed by a procession through the school’s war memorial whilst the school’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF) of Army, Navy and RAF cadets stood in formation beside the memorial.

Due to current restrictions and to keep the integrity of year group bubbles, First Years attended the service in person, while it was live streamed to the rest of the pupils and teachers in individual classrooms.

The Headmaster and Reverend Will Hughes, School Chaplain and Vicar of Petersfield, led the service with readings and prayers accompanied by the Last Post and Reveille played by three of our music students.

After the service the banner party and wreath bearers lead the procession to the School’s war memorial, built to honour the Old Churcherians who fought in the First and Second World Wars. Poppy wreaths were laid and saluted, with the First Year pupils and CCF following behind to walk the, now traditional, route through the memorial to remember those lost.
