The Borden Grammar School community gathered today for our annual Remembrance Service, coming together in quiet reflection to honour and remember those who served and sacrificed.

This year marked a significant milestone for our commemoration. For the first time, the service was streamed live directly into classrooms, enabling all of our pupils to join together in tribute. As classrooms across the school watched the broadcast, representatives from each form gathered in the Quad alongside trustees, staff, cadet students, and returning Old Bordenians to pay their respects on behalf of the whole school.

We were deeply honoured to welcome two volunteers from the Royal British Legion, whose presence added immense dignity to the proceedings. A live bugle performance of the Last Post and Reveille echoed across the Quad, bringing a powerful silence to the grounds.

As wreaths were laid, our School Captain read the winning entry from this year’s Remembrance Poetry Competition, written by one of our Year 9 pupils. Thoughtful addresses from our Headteacher and members of the Old Bordenians reminded us all of the enduring importance of memory, gratitude, and legacy.

Thank you to everyone who organised, attended, and contributed to making this year's service so memorable and meaningful.

Lest We Forget.
