100 Days Countdown to Armed Forces Day
Our Year 7 students had an unforgettable experience on 19th March 2026 as they attended the 100-day countdown event to Armed Forces Day.
Students had the incredible opportunity to get up close with a British Army Jackal military vehicle and explore a Royal Navy Wildcat helicopter. They also spoke with service personnel, gaining insight into their roles, experiences, and the dedication behind their service.
