We will Remember Them

Pupils at St Peter’s created a striking set of silhouettes representing members of the armed forces past and present.

The silhouettes were created in response to a competition to design a Remembrance Day memorial for the school campus, launched in November 2020 by the Development & Alumni Department.

The aim of the project was to honour former pupils from St Peter’s School, Old Peterites, who served across all forces, as well as marking the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War.

Upper Sixth Form pupils Hannah and Hope created the winning design: a series of silhouettes showcasing the diverse roles across the forces throughout history.

Eleven pupils volunteered and worked together to create the figures, as part of the Design and Technology Department’s co-curricular club Makerspace, and the project was partially funded by the Old Peterite Club.

Throughout November 2021, the figures were located around the school campus and lit each evening alongside named plaques.
