International Cross of Nails Service

We are very excited to share with  you the news that we have been accepted as an International Cross of Nails School – linking with Coventry Cathedral.

The Cross of Nails Community includes schools, communities, parishes and other organisations who have shown a commitment to the values of peace, hope and reconciliation.

During the service we will be presented with our own Cross of Nails by a representative from Coventry Cathedral.

The service will take place in St Andrew’s, Broadhembury on

Monday 24th September at 9:30am

It would be lovely if members of the community could join us for the service.  There will be refreshments in school afterwards.

Remembered – a new charity has been launched –

• Remembered is a charity launched with 3 aims:
• To Commemorate the Fallen through highlighting the sacrifices made. The 2018 Armistice Project, There But Not There, will be the Centenary Commemoration for the end of the First World War.
• To Educate all generations, particularly today’s younger generation, born nearly 100 years after the outbreak of WW1, to understand what led to the deaths of 888,246 British and Commonwealth men.
• To help Heal those suffering from the hidden wounds of post-traumatic stress disorder and other lasting legacies of combat, by raising funds for our beneficiary charities

• There But Not There is the inaugural project from the charity ‘Remembered’, marking 100 years since the end of the First World War through art installations around the UK.
• A range of model ‘Tommies’ are being produced and sold by the charity – all profits made from these models, which are built by veterans from Royal British Legion Industries, will go to a group of mental health and armed forces charities, all of which are supporting the campaign throughout the year.
• Seated silhouettes will sit wherever there is a roll of honour, taking names off memorial walls and putting them back into communities’ psyche.
