Giving thanks to those who serve.

Today in assembly we took time to reflect on the wide range of emergency services who are here to help us in time of need.
After a difficult weekend for the Police Service, today in assembly we reflected on the breadth of those services we are lucky enough to be able to count on in time of need.
Police, Fire, Ambulance, Coastguard, RNLI, Mountain Rescue, Cave Rescue and others can be called on for support and do an excellent job. We took time out today to reflect on their service, paid and voluntary and the security that having them on call offers us. We thank them for their bravery and commitment to the communities they serve and the example they set us.
We thanks those in our school community and town for their service.
At this difficult time our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of Sgt Ratana who lost his life in the line of duty on Friday.
