STUDENTS from Coombeshead College, Newton Abbot marked Armistice Day with Kevin Adamson, chairman of the Plymouth Branch of the Royal Naval Association.

Previously, students had worked with sculptor Alistair Lambert, in sessions funded through Daisi and The Helen Foundation, to create a commemorative World War One sculpture, now hanging in the new gallery stairwell in the CREATE department.

Initially students conducted research and created drawings focusing on World War One aviation. 

As part of the installation and the school’s Remembrance Day preparations, staff and students made hundreds of 3D paper poppies to hang in the windows of the gallery.

Helen Coulson, headteacher said: ‘I want to say thank members of the Royal Naval Association who came along.

’It’s so important young people continue to mark Remembrance Day with the reverence it deserves.’
