This week, we came together to mark Remembrance Day through a powerful creative project: the Remembrance Poppy Art Project 2025.

Each class, from the youngest pupils to Year 6, used their observational skills to draw poppies, reflecting on their symbolism of remembrance, resilience and hope. These beautiful pieces were then combined into one large collaborative artwork, a vase filled with poppies which represents unity, gratitude and peace.

The project sought to capture the contrast between the devastation of war and the delicate, enduring beauty of the poppy, reminding us of all the sacrifices made by those who have served and continue to serve.

We’re proud that this artwork will be displayed as part of the community Remembrance Service at Shirebrook Leisure Centre, in partnership with the Town Council.
