At 11am on 11 November, the school fell silent as students, staff and governors joined the country in remembering all those who have given their lives in conflict, including the Old King’s Scholars who are remembered on the school’s war memorial.
The exhortation was read by Hannah Evans (U6BRD) and Mahima Hansoge (U6WAL) from our Head of School team before Jake Bywater (4GRO) and Will Appleton (SHWER) played the Last Post.
The two minute silence ended with Reveille, after which three CCF cadets led the wreaths to be laid at the war memorial.
The wreaths were laid by Junior School pupil Farah Younis (J40) and Willow Lodge pupil Avissa Paull from Robins class, who took time to learn about the former pupils who are remembered on the plaques.
Two Sixth Formers, Honey Holmes (U6DUT) and Jack Hayter (U6FOX) led the city in remembrance as they played the Last Post at a short service in Chester Cathedral’s Garden of Remembrance. Today’s service comes ahead of the main service of remembrance on Sunday 13 November when the school will be represented by cadets from The King’s School Chester Combined Cadet Force.
