As we prepare for tomorrows Remembrance Day Service, students at Smith’s Wood Academy have been busy supporting the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal by selling poppies across the academy.
Remembrance Day provides an important opportunity for our school community to pause, reflect and honour the courage, sacrifice and service of those who have served in the Armed Forces, as well as those who continue to serve today. It is a time to remember the individuals and families whose lives have been affected by conflict and to recognise the freedoms that their sacrifices have helped secure.
We are incredibly proud of the students who have volunteered their time to support the Poppy Appeal, demonstrating the values of respect, responsibility and community spirit that are at the heart of life at Smith’s Wood Academy and across the Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust.
The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal raises vital funds to support serving personnel, veterans and their families, providing practical assistance, recovery support and lifelong care for members of the Armed Forces community.
Poppies remain available to purchase from Reception, and we warmly welcome any donations from students, staff, parents and visitors who wish to support this important cause.
We would like to thank our academy community for their continued generosity and support and look forward to coming together during tomorrow’s Remembrance Day Service to reflect, remember and pay our respects.
Lest We Forget. 🌺
