All Saints Comes Together to Mark Remembrance Day



On Wednesday 11th November, the whole school community at All Saints Catholic College came together at 11am to mark Remembrance Day, joining people across the nation in a moment of reflection and remembrance.


Students and staff gathered to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world, and to remember all those whose lives have been affected by war.


The occasion was marked by moving readings delivered by our Head Boy and Head Girl, who reflected on the importance of remembrance, sacrifice and the hope for a more peaceful world.


A particularly poignant moment came with the playing of The Last Post on the trumpet, followed by a period of silence as the whole school paused to pay their respects.


As a Catholic community, Remembrance Day offers us an important opportunity to reflect on the values of peace, compassion and service to others. It reminds us not only of the sacrifices made by previous generations, but also of our shared responsibility to work towards a world built on understanding, reconciliation and peace.


It was a moving and dignified occasion, with our students demonstrating great respect and thoughtfulness throughout.

At All Saints, we remember with gratitude, reflect with compassion and pray for peace.



We will remember them.

On Tuesday 10th November, the All Saints Schola Cantorum gave a truly beautiful and moving performance at St Mary of the Angels Catholic Church, presenting One Equal Light – Music for Remembrance, a special concert of sacred choral music to mark the season of remembrance. As the November evenings grow darker, the concert offered a moment of peace, reflection and extraordinary musical beauty, with a carefully chosen programme centred around the themes of remembrance, eternal rest and heavenly light. At the heart of the evening was William Harris' magnificent Bring Us, O Lord God, a setting for double choir of words by the poet John Donne. His vision of heaven, where there is "no noise nor silence, but one equal music; no darkness nor dazzling but one equal light", provided a particularly poignant inspiration for the concert. The programme also featured works by some of the great composers of sacred choral music, including Hubert Parry, Charles Villiers Stanford and Tomás Luis de Victoria, alongside Sir James MacMillan's In Paradisum, a work specially commissioned for the All Saints Schola Cantorum. Our talented young singers delivered a wonderful performance, demonstrating exceptional musicality, sensitivity and maturity as they brought this beautiful and demanding repertoire to life. Their voices filled the church, creating an atmosphere that was both deeply moving and uplifting. The concert was a wonderful reminder of the power of sacred music to bring people together, offer comfort and inspire reflection, particularly at this important time of remembrance. We are immensely proud of our Schola Cantorum and the dedication, hard work and musical excellence of our students. A huge thank you to our Music Department, everyone involved in preparing this special programme, and all those who joined us for such a memorable evening. It was a truly fitting and beautiful tribute to the season of remembrance, and another outstanding achievement for the All Saints Schola Cantorum.
