Peter McNabb, headteacher at St Dominic's, said the project formed part of the pupils' learning about Remembrance Day and its importance.

He said: "We always give a lot of focus to Remembrance Day and what it means, with pupils undertaking a range of activities to support their learning.

"The giant poppies are stencilled onto the grass at various places around the school and act as a striking reminder of the sacrifice made for our freedom and liberty."
