April is the Month of the Military Child. This national campaign recognises the children of military families and encourages the voice of children to be heard within their school settings, sharing their experiences of military family life.
We plan to acknowledge this over the next few weeks in school with different group events for our military children, including an assembly and opportunities for them to share their experiences.
On Friday 24th April, the campaign will recognise military children by wearing purple up and down the country. Therefore, all children are invited to wear something purple, this could be something simple like a purple ribbon or wristband or an item of clothing with their uniform. Please don’t purchase something new, children can wear either full non-uniform with something purple, or a simple splash of purple to recognise the day. Children will also have the opportunity to make something purple in their class.
We hope to recognise this as an annual event going forwards.
