Remembrance

On Remembrance Sunday, students from Penwortham Girls’ High School took part in the ceremony held at Penwortham War Memorial. The Head Girl and two Deputy Head Girls, Hattie, Sophie and Elizabeth, laid wreaths at Penwortham War Memorial on behalf of the school on Armistice Day and on Remembrance Sunday. They also read the names of those soldiers from the local area who lost their lives during the First World War during the Remembrance Sunday service alongside students from Priory Academy and All Hallows Catholic High School. It was fantastic to see so many students from school at the event, whether they were representing other organisations such as the Scouts, or those who had come with their parents.

In school, the school charity council members have been raising money for the British Legion by selling poppies. Assemblies this week have focused on the significance of First World War Remembrance. At 11am on Armistice Day a two-minute silence was observed by all in school, followed by a recital of the Reveille by Mrs Little.
