On Friday, 7th November 2025, all schools across our Trust came together to mark Remembrance Day — a time to honour and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who have served, and continue to serve, in our armed forces.

The event was led by the Cadet Forces from each school, who played a central role in the commemorations, including readings, the laying of wreaths, and leading the Trust-wide act of remembrance. Their pride, discipline, and respect set the tone for a moving and meaningful occasion.

At 11:00am, pupils, staff, and guests across the Trust joined together in the Two Minutes' Silence, uniting as one community to remember those who gave their lives in service of others.

We are incredibly proud of the way our schools came together — standing side by side to honour the past, reflect on the present, and look with hope towards the future. A huge thank you to Etone College for hosting the event and to Elmwood School for joining us for their first trust wide event.

"We will remember them."

Year 10 and Year 11 had the opportunity to watch the Onatti Theatre team perform in the first week of half term.  All pupils study French up until Year 9 at TGBS, as part of their ongoing Personal Development offer, KS4 had the privilege of watching the live show  - entirely in French! 

After an uncertain start, the pupils warmed to the actors and came into their own when they were invited up to be part of the performance.  As an additional, fun supplement of the French GCSE, it was great for the boys to be reminded of how to use their skills in context.  The pupils were very complimentary about the experience and can use it in their GCSE curriculum and wider travelling for those going to St Omer later in the year.

On Tuesday 11 November, pupils of Turves Green Boys' School held a remembrance service to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Pupils demonstrated our key value of 'Respectful to all' throughout the service which included a parade from our Combined Cadet Force, pupil wreath laying, pupil readings and performances from our school choir. 

We were also pleased to welcome guests from the local church and warm space, who stayed for tea and cakes with our cadets following the service.
