Led by headteacher, Miss Wilkes, the entire Oakfield Academy congregated on the yard to celebrate Remembrance Day.
The academy reports, “Remaining in their year bubbles, everybody listened to two wonderful readings. The first, ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’ was read by Stan Hill 70, and the second ‘In Flanders Fields’ was read by Alice Wagstaff, 80. Both readers did a marvellous job at short notice and read their poems beautifully.
“The ceremony concluded with an emotional rendition of ‘The Last Post’ by Mr Oates on the trumpet. Finally, all pupils and staff observed two minutes of silence, to reflect on those who have fallen in conflict.”
