Ciaran Mason, a Year 8 pupil at Wardle Academy, took his granddad’s medals into school on Friday (11 November) as part of Remembrance Day.

A spokesperson for the school said: "Wardle Academy is incredibly proud of the amount of respect and understanding the students have had.

"The whole school listened to members of the band as they performed ‘The Last Post’ and then continued to take part in a two minute silence to help us take the time to remember the fallen.

"Both events were conducted well with our students proving to be examples of exceptional etiquette and respect. They have been excellent representatives of our school and community values."
