Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Programme of Remembrance

9 - 19 September 2022

On behalf of Kirkham Grammar School, we would like to express our sincere condolences on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We are deeply saddened by the news and our thoughts are with all members of the Royal Family in this time of national mourning.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II leaves behind a remarkable legacy, having ruled for longer than any other monarch in British history and her faithful leadership, selfless service and voice of reassurance throughout her seventy-year reign will be remembered by generations.

I know that the whole school community will unite in loss but in celebration too.  We will continue to follow her example of kindness, resilience and unwavering commitment which she embodied throughout her reign.

We have planned the following daily acts of remembrance:

• Friday 9 September: Flag lowered / 11.00 am one minute silence
• Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 September: All fixtures/events cancelled
• Monday 12 September: Queen Elizabeth II Whole school assembly
• Tuesday 13 September: Queen Elizabeth II Form assemblies
• Wednesday 14 September: CCF Remembrance Event
• Thursday 15 September: Upper School Speech Day will include an act of remembrance 
• Friday 16 September: Planting of the Queen Elizabeth II Remembrance Tree
• Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 September: All fixtures/events cancelled
• Monday 19 September: Bank Holiday – School closed

The School site will close at 6.00 pm each day next week (apart from Thursday when the Upper School Speech Day will take place). After-school activities will take place as they form part of the school day.
