Ipswich pupils planted trees in their school garden to create a haven for remembrance, where students can gather for reflection.
Ant Cartwright, chaplain at Chantry Academy - which is part of the Active Learning Trust - said: “After being inspired by The Royal British Legion’s Remembrance Glade, I submitted an application for funding to The Tree Council to rejuvenate a corner of our school garden to create a haven of remembrance, reflection and rest.
“I was delighted to learn that our bid was successful, and we could go ahead and develop a mindful and soulful space as part of our pastoral and spiritual care provision.

Staff at an Ipswich primary school are facing an anxious wait after its management said the workforce could be cut due to declining pupil numbers.
Active Learning Trust, which manages Gusford Community Primary School in Sheldrake Drive, has said it has launched a consultation over a potential restructuring of staff.
Bosses at the trust have said they will do everything possible to secure its future so it could continue to deliver an excellent learning environment for pupils.
Gusford Community Primary School provides education for more than 600 children, according to its website, and became an academy in 2013 with Active Learning Trust, which is also responsible for Chantry Academy in Ipswich.
