Wotton 

PUPILS from a Wotton school honoured the fallen at the town’s Remembrance Day service.

Students from Katharine Lady Berkeley’s School joined in the town’s commemoration in St Mary’s Church and at the war memorial.

The next day, the school community also paid tribute at a poignant ceremony at the school.

The service was led by head girl Alice Bailey and head boy Jacob Bray accompanied by year 11 ambassadors Imogen James, Evie Ryall, Dan Sadler and Lily Wharin.

Also in attendance was the school’s chair of trustees Andrew Covell, and members of the Kier Construction team who are leading the site’s rebuild programme.

Two members of the sixth form leadership team, Mia McMath and Lily Fox, read The Exhortation and Gemma Pearse in year nine played the Last Post.

After the two minute silence, Gemma then played The Reveille and Ross O’Donnell, year 11 ambassador read  The Epitaph.

The ceremony closed with the chamber choir singing a rendition of For the Fallen.

A wreath was then placed by the Wellicome board in the history building which names past students who lost their lives in the two World Wars.

Headteacher Hannah Khan said: “The importance of remembrance continues to resonate with our students; this poignant ceremony underlined the deep respect they have for those who have lost their lives to past and recent conflict, and the students were clearly moved by the significance and solemnity of the ceremony.

“It was particularly poignant for those students who had travelled to the Battlefields last summer and laid a wreath at the grave of Mr Wellicome at Mailly Wood Cemetery in France.”
