Thomas Clarkson Academy students and staff commemorated the official end of WW1 on Armistice Day last week.
Due to COVID-19, the school could not host a service in 2020 and 2021 so for the first time in three years the school has managed to arrange a special service led by Principal Richard Scott, that everyone was able to join. 
Richard said: “It was wonderful to be able to have the whole academy together for such a special event.
“We have missed the annual service and hope it has prompted our students to ask questions and learn more about the Armistice and what it means.”
Assistant Principal Jon Siracusano read a piece written by one of their pupils, Brooke Scott, whose dad Lee died in Afghanistan while serving in the army.
Brooke’s mum, Nikki, founded the charity Scotty’s Little Soldiers which helps the children and families of those who’ve died while serving.
