Make Remembrance Day meaningful for everyone with this selection of Remembrance Day assembly resources

Remembrance Day is a significant annual event observed around the world. It offers a valuable opportunity to encourage students to become reflective learners and explore the reasons why tributes are paid each year to commemorate those who lost their lives in war. Whole school assemblies can be a great way to encourage such reflection and tutor time can be used for thoughtful discussion.

With this in mind, we’ve gathered together a range of secondary Remembrance Day assembly resources to support your planning as 11 November approaches.
