The school held a remembrance assembly on Friday morning.

Some of the Year 6 children read poems which they had written and Father Marcus led the pupilsÂ in prayer and remembrance.

Deputy headteacher Rob Jones said: '˜Each class made a wreath and laid it in our school hall.

'˜We then had a two-minute silence to show our respect. It was lovely to see that even children as young as five understood why we choose to wear a poppy with one little boy saying 'It makes me feel better wearing a poppy because I don't like fighting".'Â
