VE Day - 80th Anniversay on Thursday 8 May 2025
To honor and pay tribute to the brave men and women connected to our community who participated in the Second World War, we are planning to create a special installation at the school. This installation will serve as a reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and resilience displayed during the war, and we would like to invite our school community to contribute.
If you have any photographs, memorabilia, or personal items that you would be willing to share for this installation, we would be deeply grateful.
If you would like to contribute, please send any items to nhealy@greatwyrley.windsoracademytrust.org.uk or bring them to the school reception.
