This week, the Downe House community came together to honour Remembrance in a series of moving tributes. On Sunday, the School gathered in Chapel for a special service led by the Sixth Form, reflecting on courage, sacrifice, and gratitude. Mr Dougie from the Estates & Services team shared heartfelt words about his 38 years of service in the British Army, saying,

Remembrance has always been part of my life. At this time of year, I always focus on my father and grandfather who both served, and the friends I’ve made and lost over my military career. It is a very special day for me.

On Monday, students and staff gathered once again in the Courtyard for a moment of silence. Sixth Formers Lorna and Phoebe played The Last Post beautifully, as the School stood together to remember and pay respects to all those who have served.
