On Monday 13th November Charters School in Sunningdale fell silent to mark Remembrance Day.

Standing in year groups, the entire school joined together to remember the nation’s service men and women who have died in the line of duty.

Dexter Brown from Year 13 poignantly played the Last Post prior to Head Boy Joshua Taylor stepping to the microphone to read ‘In Flanders Field’ by John McCrae. Students and staff fell silent for two minutes before Dexter broke the silence by playing the Rouse. A wreath of poppies was then laid by two Sixth Form students. As the students returned to lessons, they passed an art installation of poppies clinging to the trees in the school’s central quad.
