Children from Lane End Primary School took part in this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony at the Leeds War Memorial on Sunday 9 November proudly representing schools from across the city.
Lane End was given the honour of laying the official poppy wreath on behalf of all Leeds schools, a moment that Headteacher Mrs J Hopwood described as “a privilege and a proud occasion for our community.”
A group of pupils attended the ceremony accompanied by staff and family members. The children stood alongside veterans, civic leaders, and members of the public in a moving service to remember those who lost their lives in conflict.
A photograph of the participating pupils—captured moments after the ceremony—has been shared with families to mark the significance of the day.
Mrs Hopwood extended her thanks to all the families who came along to support the children during the service.
“Taking part in such an important event helps our pupils understand the value of remembrance, respect, and community,” she said.
Lane End Primary School continues to play an active role in city-wide events, fostering a strong sense of civic pride and responsibility among its students.
