PUPILS joined counterparts from sister schools to commemorate Remembrance.

Last Friday, staff and students from The Costello School travelled to Priory School in Southsea to commemorate a special Remembrance Day event with other staff and students from across the Bohunt Education Trust.

Priory School was recommissioned as a Military Hospital during the First World War, and hosted the event for representatives from all six BET schools across the south of England.

Chief executive officer of the Bohunt Education Trust, Neil Strowger, said, “BET’s approach to immersive learning enables all our students to experience hands-on history. The centenary is a very humbling occasion and we are fortunate in that many of our students come to school every day to Priory - a building that played a pivotal role in Portsmouth during 1914-18. Our ethos is Enjoy Respect Achieve - and today is a key example to all our students and staff of respect for those who died during the Great War.’
