We Will Remember

Oakwood always commemorates Remembrance Day.

We sell poppies on behalf of the Royal British Legion, and all children learn about the armistice and observe the two minutes' silence in school, joining in with millions of others, in Britain and around the world.

Year 3 children do something special. They represent the school at the commemoration at Hollybrook Cemetery, alongside veterans, members of the public and the Lordshill History Society.

This is a solemn event where we respect the dead of all wars, all nationalities and all faiths and cultures. There are memorials to those who fought at sea, Sikh and Muslim soldiers who fought for Britain in the two world wars, and the graves of many German soldiers who were never repatriated.

We remember them all.
