Over the last few days students across Tytherington School have been taking part in a number of events to mark Remembrance Day.

Every year the school has a particular theme for commemoration and this year there was a focus on remembering the role of Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal family during World War 2.

On Sunday 13th November, Mrs Timms accompanied key stage 3 students to the Bollington Remembrance Parade to lay a wreath on behalf of Tytherington. Dylan Harris and Gwilym Foat were chosen as student representatives. 

Ms Wallett led assemblies during the week to reflect on why the nation remembers.

The final event of the week culminated with students from across Tytherington congregating at the front of the school for a community commemoration which involved a rendition of the “Last Post” from members of the school’s brass band. Students who are members of the cadets were encouraged to wear their uniform on the day.

Headteacher, Manny Botwe, said: “We feel that it is crucial for the school to come together came together tocommemorate. It is important to remember those whose bravery and sacrifice enable us to live a life of freedom.”
