Remembrance at Haileybury
This week, the Haileybury community came together in solemn remembrance to honour those who gave their lives in service to their country.
On Sunday, a formal Remembrance Service was held in Chapel, where we gave thanks for the sacrifice of so many, including Old Haileyburians who served with courage and distinction. The moving service featured thoughtful readings, hymns and choral music reflecting themes of service and gratitude. This was followed by the Two Minutes’ Silence and the laying of wreaths and flowers at the Cross of Sacrifice by the Master, Heads of School, CCF representatives and pupils from across all year groups.
On Tuesday 11 November, the entire school gathered once again in Quad for the Armistice Day Service. Proudly led by the Haileybury CCF Colour Party, the school community stood together in reflection for two minutes to honour all those who served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present. The silence was followed by the playing of Reveille. Following the service, the Master and Chaplain laid a wreath at Red House in remembrance of Operations staff who lost their lives in the war.
These occasions were deeply moving and served as a powerful reminder of the enduring importance of remembrance, reflection and gratitude within our community.
