Pupil Parliament represented the school at the local cenotaph for Remembrance. Back at school, we observed a two-minute silence to honour all those who have served, and continue to serve, in conflicts around the world. We will remember them. 🌺 #ArmisticeDay #LestWeForget— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) Nov 11, 2025
