At 11:00am on Monday 11th November the whole school took part in a two minute silence to show our respects as a school ahead of Armistice Day.  

During Act of Worship  we talked about the significance of this day and the reason for wearing the poppy.  We also talked about Captain George Wellstead, a former pupil of hate school who lost his life during WWI.

On Remembrance Sunday pupils laid wreaths on behalf of the Old Basing schools' at the war memorial at St Mary's Church  and at the war memorial in Basingstoke Town centre. 

We also come together as a school to create our annual poppy display, which contains an individual poppy designed by every pupil in the school.

 

St Mary's shall remember them.
