Remembrance Day Assembly

Mr. Tetley, we salute you.

The Gulf War Medal was a campaign medal approved in 1992, for issue to officers and men of British forces who served in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia during ‘Operation Granby’ (the Liberation of Kuwait) in 1990–91.

I served in the Royal Air Force for a period of 9 years, and was based in Cyprus (RAF Akrotiri) (1989-1992) working within the Supply and Movements Squadron.

I received this medal in 1992. All servicemen are awarded service medals while they are working in theatres of conflict. I have friends, including my brothers, who received medals for serving in recent wars in Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Mr Stephen Tetley B.Ed (Hons), M.A (Ed)

A message to the Parents Dear Peponi House Parents, I hope you are all well. At school, we have continued to enjoy having the Year 8 pupils back here with us and this has given us a taste for what we hope is to come for all of our pupils in January.

This week we held a Remembrance ceremony at school and many of you will be celebrating Diwali this weekend. These two events might seem diverse but to me they share a thread, that even when times are dark there can be light and that in adversity, through community and common humanity, there is a shared desire and need for peace.

Currently we are dealing with many challenges and our hearts go out to those who are sick and suffering and to families who have lost loved ones. As Diwali symbolises, there can be light ahead and we might look forward to that.

Next week we will only be at school for four days, with Friday 20th November designated as a day for ‘rest and catch up’ across Peponi Schools. We will be closed and there will be no formal work set for the pupils, although they will be able to work with the online programmes and catch up on other aspects of their studies as necessary. It is worth remembering that sharpness with number and reading are fundamental to general academic success and always need practising.

I hope you all have a relaxing weekend.
