🌺 CLCA students have been exploring the meaning behind the different coloured poppies people choose to wear during November in History lessons. As part of our Remembrance Day learning, students discussed how poppies are worn as a symbol of remembrance & respect for those who lost their lives serving in the First World War & subsequent conflicts. ❤️✨ Students also learned about the significance of other coloured poppies and the stories they represent, encouraging thoughtful discussion, reflection and understanding. 🕊️🌿 #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget #CLCA #Respect #Reflection 🌺🕯️🇬🇧✨ https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/45975344

Y11 Reminders: Revision Preparation If any Y11 students have purchased a PE Revision Guide or Revision Bundle through ParentPay, please collect it from the PE Office as soon as possible. There are still a number of students who have paid but have not yet collected their books. With exams taking place in January, it is important that you collect your revision materials promptly. If you would like to purchase a revision guide or bundle, all payments must be made through ParentPay, and all books must be collected by students from the PE Office.
