VE Day

On Thursday 8th May, we marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day with form time reflections and remembrance. Students were also treated to a special VE Day themed lunch.

VE Day stands for Victory in Europe Day. It marks the day World War II ended in Europe – 8th May 1945. On that day, people across Britain and other countries celebrated because the fighting in Europe was finally over. This year is the 80th anniversary of VE Day; a time to remember the people who fought, worked and lived through the war, and to honour their bravery and sacrifice.

We were so proud to see our students in the cadet forces wearing their uniforms with pride as we honoured those who served and sacrificed.
