Remembrance Service 2026

'Remembrance Day' marks the day World War I ended: 11:00am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. All staff and pupils of Afon Tâf High School attended a poignant 'Remembrance Service' gathering at the front of school at 10:30am on Wednesday 11 November 2026.

‘Remembrance Day’ is now generally recognised as a point of reflection to remember all those who gave their lives in different conflicts around the world since 1918. In a pupil-led service, representatives of each Year Group laid wreaths and plaques at the foot of our 'poppy field' which was sprinkled with wooden-oak crosses, overlooked by a WWI soldier in silhouette form.

Head Girl, Tillie, and other Prefects gave poignant readings. The school choir gave renditions of ‘Abide With Me’, ‘O God Our Help In Ages Past, and 'We'll Meet Again.' Year 9 pupil, Pippa, played ‘The Last Post' on the Tenor Horn, which preceded a well-observed 'two-minute' silence, respectfully met by every member of #TeamTaf.

Da iawn pawb. You've done Afon Tâf proud... again.
