On Remembrance Day, Ysgol Bae Baglan in Neath Port Talbot held a moving and poignant service, bringing together over 1,250 pupils and 150 guests from the local community. Military veterans, Service children from schools across Neath Port Talbot, families of former pupils who made the ultimate sacrifice, and local dignitaries were among those welcomed.
Veterans marched to the sound of a piper and the school’s brass band, and pupils led the service with maturity, dignity and respect, delivering powerful readings and poetry in both Welsh and English.
SSCE Cymru’s Participation Lead Officer, Jo, was privileged to join the attendees at the service. The occasion was a powerful reminder of the importance of ensuring that the sacrifices of previous generations are never forgotten, and of the role schools play in bringing communities together to remember. Thank you to everyone at Ysgol Bae Baglan for the invitation and for such a thoughtful and respectful tribute.
We will remember them.
