✨ 2 DAYS TO GO! ✨ Our Crochet Club, consisting of a range of sixth formers, teamed up with the elderly residents from the local residential home to create these beautiful crocheted poppies that are now displayed in our school hall. It was truly special to see the generations connect, sharing stories and stitches to honour the sacrifices made in the wars. Lest we forget. 🌹 📅 Thursday 13th November 2025

Our students had a truly insightful and moving assembly with Phil, Poppy Appeal Manager for West Kent, learning about the incredible work of The Royal British Legion! 🎖️ We explored how the funds raised through The Poppy Appeal are used to provide vital support to servicemen and women, veterans, and their families. From mental health support to financial aid and care, it was eye-opening to understand the profound impact these donations have. One student shared, "I was unaware of how the money raised was actually used, and it was really interesting to know more about The Poppy Appeal and how the local community can support one another." This feedback truly highlights the importance of understanding the 'why' behind our fundraising efforts. Upcoming Commemoration: On Tuesday, 11th November, we will respectfully observe a two-minute silence to commemorate those who have fought and lost their lives in conflict. We encourage all students and staff to reflect on the sacrifices made for our freedom. Wear Your Service Uniform: We extend a special invitation to students who are members of Scouts, Cadets, Guides, or similar service organisations. On Tuesday, 11th November, you are welcome to wear your full service uniform to school instead of your regular school uniform, as a mark of respect and pride. Please ensure all uniform components are clean and tidy. Support The Poppy Appeal: Poppies will also be on sale on the gate each morning for a small donation, with all proceeds going directly to The Poppy Appeal. Your support helps the Royal British Legion continue its invaluable work. Let's remember together. #LestWeForget #PoppyAppeal #RoyalBritishLegion #CommunitySupport #SchoolAssembly #RemembranceDay #RainhamRemembers #PoppiesAndPeace

RSG’s 2025 Remembrance Art installation has seen a huge community effort from our students, to parents, grandparents and staff, to create over 1000 crocheted poppies. These were constructed to form a cascading waterfall from floor to ceiling, the reality of this all coming together is truly both breathtaking and moving.
