Commemorating Remembrance 2025

A small group of Beacon Academy students were proud to play their part in Crowborough’s Armistice Day Service on Tuesday 11 November.

The students joined primary schools, community groups, Crowborough and District Veterans and Supporters Association, Crowborough Town Council and All Saints Church Crowborough in paying tribute to the fallen and all those who have risked their lives and continue to do so for their countries.

The service included a parade of standards and maroon fire to signal the beginning and end of a two-minute silence. Year 10 students, Noah, Heidi and Evelyn performed a poignant reading of In Flanders Fields, the poem by John McCrae that inspired the use of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance. Year 13 student, Natasha, gave an accomplished performance of The Last Post and The Reveille on the trumpet and Year 11 students George, Izzy and Cameron joined others from local primary schools in laying a wreath on behalf of everyone at Beacon Academy.

A voluntary collection was held at school in support of the Poppy Appeal.
