On Thursday morning, Kirkham Grammar Senior School pupils and staff held their annual Remembrance Day Service led by our Senior NCOs. During the service, our School Captains, Jack Wigglesworth and Millie Homan, read the bidding and a Bible passage taken from the Gospel of St John. Captain Atkinson, the Contingent Commander, led the service with the whole school falling quiet for a two minute silence. 'The Last Post' and 'Reveille' were played by Fourth Year pupil and CCF cadet, Jasmine Squires-Evans. At the end of the service, the platform party moved to the Old Hall to lay wreaths at the First and Second World War memorial plaques. The assembly, and wreath laying, allowed the school community to reflect and remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. **Tags:** [CCF](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/ccf) [Sixth Form](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/sixth-form) [2023-2024](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2023-2024) [Senior School](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/senior-school) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2023-11-07-kirkham-grammar-school-claim-maiden-st-joseph-s-college-national-schools-rugby-festival-t) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2023-11-16-sports-reports) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
