Each year, Clevedon School takes part in activities to mark Holocaust Memorial Day with support from the Holocaust Memorial Trust.

The annual programme encourages students to reflect on who they are, the importance of kindness and respect, and the lessons that can be learned from history.

“If you see the moon at night, it seems young, but if you see it in the morning, it seems old. How can it seem old ? At night it shines like a star, by morning it's no longer bright”, Sadika Year 11.

The school says it is proud of its long-standing relationship with the Holocaust Memorial Trust, whose support helps students develop as thoughtful and compassionate leaders through the Student Academy.

“Captured on my phone – the old and new – stories told over tea across generations”, Mark, Year 9.

As part of the commemorations, students entered the Trust's annual photography competition, which invited young people to explore the theme of intergenerational connection through photography.

The competition gave students the opportunity to reflect on the importance of remembrance while expressing their ideas through photography.
