The team washed, cut, painted and glued the bottles to create this wonderful sustainable poppy field under the cut-leaf beech tree in our Senior School grounds, to honour all of those who have lost their lives during conflict. The team will continue making poppies from recycled plastic bottles so the poppy field will grow, just as in nature. Students, staff and guests have been asked to take a moment to reflect as they pass the installation, and to think of those who have fallen in conflict zones around the world. We are very proud of the team that created this wonderful memorial, and we send our appreciation to all who have served our country in the Armed Forces.
