Prep Remembrance Day 2026

The Year's Prep School Remembrance Day Service had a nautical theme, focusing on the service, dedication, and sacrifice of the Royal Navy throughout history, from the Frist World War to more recent conflicts.

We were delighted to welcome retired Lieutenant Chris Burslam-Dawe, who shared his experiences of eight years in the Submarine Service and inspired the pupils with his reflections. Together, we were reminded that remembrance is such an important act of saying thank you to those who gave their lives for the freedom we enjoy today.
