The poppies were all hand made over a number of months, inspired by the installation at the Tower of London by artist Mark Cummings.
To make the display as inclusive as possible, all four poppy colours are represented, with each maker choosing which meaning they wished to support, which were then glazed to make them weatherproof.
Red Poppy: Memorial to those who sacrificed their lives in World War One and following conflicts.
Purple Poppy: To remember animal victims of war.
Black Poppy: To commemorate the contributions of black, African and Caribbean communities to the war effort.
White Poppy: Commemorates people who died in conflict with a focus on an end to war.
The installation will remain in the ground at the school until next year, when the poppies will be for sale for £5 with proceeds going to the poppy appeal charity.
The project was the brainchild of art teacher Emma Field, who said: “I am so proud of the pieces created by our young students.”
