Feltonfleet remembersOn Friday 6th November Feltonfleet came together in thought and prayer in their own Services of Remembrance in honour of the Feltonfleet Fallen and all those who sacrificed their lives for us.

In the week up to Friday’s events two of our own staff members, Major (Ret’d) Ed Smith and Captain (Ret’d) Will Davies led assemblies in which pupils learned more about the reasons for our traditions on Remembrance Day.

The Last PostOn Friday, during three separate Remembrance Services for Lower, Middle and Upper School, we heard the story of Peter Gresham Black, who was a pupil at Feltonfleet from 1923 to 1929 and who was killed in action during World War Two at the age of 27.   The annual roll call of the Feltonfleet Fallen was followed by the traditional trumpet sounds of  “Last Post” and “Reveille” performed by Year 7 pupil, Harry.

The Upper School gathered to remember the FallenNormally an occasion for the whole Feltonfleet community to gather together, this year, just the Upper School pupils and a small group of Staff stood in front of our memorial to lay crosses and wreaths for the Feltonfleet Fallen. Meanwhile, the Pre-Prep pupils laid their own wreaths at Calvi House and pupils in Years 3 to 6 were able to join the Upper School via live stream into their classrooms.IMG 8467

Our talented Year 5 pupils created a stunning poppy display for Remembrance in their DT lessons, using scroll saws and plastics ovens to craft 3D poppies from Foamalux. A big thank you to Mrs. Manley for completing the display with a beautiful dove. #Feltonfleet #FeltonfleetCreativeArts #remembranceday #lestweforget

We will remember them. This year’s remembrance service at Feltonfleet was particularly moving, with a visit from the niece of one of Feltonfleet’s fallen, reminding us of the personal stories and legacies behind each name. Our Heads and Deputy Heads of School led the commemoration, sharing insights from their visit to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where Veterans shared what remembrance means to them. Today, and always, we remember with gratitude and pride. #remembranceday #lestweforget #Feltonfleet #armisticeday @royalhospitalchelsea

Huge congratulations to our U13 girls for an amazing day at the @iapsuk National Finals at @juniorkingssch this week! From the first whistle, the girls truly embodied our core values of honesty, kindness, respect, and responsibility, both on and off the pitch. Their dedication and sportsmanship earned the admiration of coaches and spectators alike, and we couldn’t be prouder! After some phenomenal hockey, the team secured a spot in the National Finals later this month. We’re all so excited to cheer you on! 🏑🏆 #FeltonfleetSport #FeltonfleetRespect #FeltonfleetKindness #FeltonfleetHonesty #FeltonfleetResponsibility #FeltonfleetDestination13 @iapsuksport
