We gave our today.
Holmewood’s Head Boy and Head Girl accompanied Senior Housemaster, Mr Morgan-Jones, to the Remembrance Service in Tunbridge Wells this morning. Both pupils placed Royal British Legion wreaths at the War Memorial on behalf of the whole school community - Governors, parents, teachers and pupils. It was a very moving and poignant service, and lovely to see so many Holmewood families, past and present, gathered for this special occasion.
