Sainsbury’s to sell poppies created by students to fund RBL

Students at a Bury St Edmunds secondary school have taken part in a special poppy-designing project which will see their work sold in support of the Royal British Legion.

Sybil Andrews Academy have kept up their traditional Remembrance Day work in the classroom after students across all year groups designed acrylic poppies.

These have now been donated to the nearby Sainsburys on the Moreton Hall estate which will sell them in support of the Royal British Legion.

Martin Foreman, head of Design and Technology at the school, said: “In keeping with past years, we wanted to do something a bit different to support Remembrance Day.

“The acrylic poppies look great and I think it is exciting for the students to see their work on sale and supporting a really important cause.”

Last year, students and staff organised a poignant visual display to mark Remembrance Day where creative poppies, many with special messages, adorned the front of the school.
