Falconer's Hill Academy Thanks and remembers her majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Principal's Message

This had been a difficult week for everyone. The news of Queen Elizabeth passing away was a shock to use all. Last week we shared a whole school assembly and the children were respectful and thoughtful. On Friday 16th September we spent the morning thinking about and celebrating the life of the Queen. The children have contributed to a whole school display and have signed a commemorative book. This newsletter contains images and texts from the children. We will send another newsletter out early next week with our usual information.

God Rest The Queen

A poem by Roger McGough

She spoke volumes quietly.

Is everywhere and will remain so

Our shared interest, our common currency

The nation cannot let her go.

Stars untwinkle one by one

The moon, in shock, averts its gaze

No words express the grief we feel

How we loved thee, let us count the ways.

The future, fearful, has gone awol

Life goes on but not the one we know

Though wreaths and words may wither

The nation will not let her go.

Guns fall silent, the flag lowered

She who kept us close is gone

Winter is composing a sad anthem

It will play on and on and on.

8 September 2022

Working collectively, collaboratively and calmly in commemoration.

God of love,

We thank you for the life of The Queen,

for her service to our nation,

and for her faith in you.

Be close to all of us who mourn,

that we may we find comfort and hope in your love,

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

.

Our children are members of a diverse community that is kind, responsible and respectful to all. Everyone is valued and celebrated. Everyone is encouraged to be ambitious and aspirational. Through our active collaboration between home and school, we develop resilient, confident and independent learners.
