Members of the Gordon’s School community have been invited to light a candle in the Chapel in remembrance of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was Patron of the school and whose legacy of faithful leadership and selfless service will be remembered by generations and will inspire future generations.

The whole School community congregated on the Parade Square for prayers this morning to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was the School's Patron. Prayers were led by School Chaplain the Reverend Graham Wright. The Last Post was sounded and two minutes silence observed. The Pipes and Drums played The Lament, Flowers of the Forest. Unfortunately the planned livestream couldn’t take place due to technical difficulties but the Pipes and Drums’ lament can be seen here.

The whole School community will be gathering together this morning at 10.35am on the Parade Square to pay our respects to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who was the School's Patron, with a prayer led by the Reverend Graham Wright, the School Chaplain and a Piper playing the Lament.

The occasion will be live-streamed on the Gordon's Official page

The Gordon’s School community joins the nation this evening in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Union flags at Gordon’s have been flying at half-mast since the announcement. Tomorrow the whole school will assemble on the Parade Square to pay their respects, led by the Chaplain, the Reverend Graham Wright. Queen Elizabeth II has been Patron of the school since her accession to the throne in 1952, continuing the unbroken line of sovereign Patrons since the school was founded in 1885.

Rob and Rich Monk, sons of Steve Monk, a much-loved member of the Gordon’s staff, have asked for the following message to be shared with the school community:

We can’t thank you enough for all the kind messages we have received over the past few days. Your heartfelt support and shared memories have been greatly appreciated during this difficult time.

The funeral will take place at 3:20pm Wed 31 Aug at the Southend Crematorium, 285 Sutton Rd, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 5PX. This will be followed by a social gathering at approx. 4:30pm at Thorpe Hall Golf Club, Thorpe Hall Av, Thorpe Bay, Essex, SS1 3AT. The Golf Club is about 10 mins by car from the Crematorium. There are a good number of hotels nearby for anyone requiring overnight accommodation.

Please can we ask that anyone wishing to attend email us at [email protected]. This will allow us to ensure the venues are setup appropriately. Those attending are requested to dress respectfully and appropriately for the occasion. Finally, in lieu of flowers anyone wishing to contribute is invited to make a charitable donation to Bowel Cancer UK by following this link: https://www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/donate/

Once again, thankyou for all your kind words of support, we hope you can join us in giving Dad the send off he deserves.

Regards,

Rob and Rich

The sons of Steve Monk, a much-loved former member of staff at Gordon’s have asked this to be shared with the school community:

It is with very heavy hearts that we share the news that following a short battle with cancer Steve Monk passed away this morning. Dad left us quietly and with dignity with Mum by his side at their home.

Clearly, this has all come as a huge shock and it will take some time to fill the vast void that he filled in our lives.

We know many of you will share our sadness and ask that you give us time and space to come to terms with this untimely loss.

We will, of course, keep you informed of funeral plans over the coming weeks.

Best wishes.

Rob and Rich Monk

After almost eight years at Gordon’s, Rob and Heather Pavis are swapping the leafy surrounds of Surrey Heath for the surf on the North Devon coast where Mr Pavis will take up the Headship at Kingsley School in Devon. The two were presented with gifts by colleagues this morning, including a picture of themselves taken with the Pipes and Drums at the recent Whitehall Parade. Reflecting on his time at Gordon’s, Mr Pavis said: “The greatest satisfaction from my work and the biggest joy that I have here is seeing the children happy”. Mrs Pavis added: ““This has just been the most amazing place to work. When you get into the bones of what Gordon’s is about it’s how much the staff care about each child, I think it is just second to none.”

Gordon’s School returned to Whitehall today for the annual Parade in memory of General Charles Gordon in whose honour the school was founded. The Parade, along one of London’s most iconic streets, was cancelled due to the pandemic last year, for the first time in living memory. But the 200 students together with the Pipes and Drums, more than made up for the missed event as they made their way along Whitehall to the General Gordon statue on the banks of the Thames. There, wreaths were laid on behalf of the Gordon family; the Gordonians and Governor’s, Trustees; staff and students.

Honoured that our Pipes and Drums will be taking part in the Armed Forces Day Memorial Convoy 2022 on Saturday 25th June.

We are pleased to announce that Gordon’s School Pipes and Drums will be appearing at our Armed Forces Day event. We look forward to welcoming them.

Background: Celebrating their 80th Anniversary this year, the Gordon’s School Pipes and Drums bring Whitehall to a standstill every January for the school’s annual Parade to the statue of General Gordon by the River Thames.

The school, which is the national memorial to the philanthropist and hero General Charles Gordon, is the only one permitted to march along the central London venue and commemorating General Gordon’s life has been an integral part of the school’s history.

To date, the school continues to have the reigning sovereign as its patron and keeps up the tradition of marching with Pipes and Drums, which is undertaken in ceremonial Blues.

Sarah Griffin, Communications Officer for Gordon’s School says:

“The Gordon’s School Pipes and Drums are proud to support our Armed Forces and delighted to be asked to be part of this Armed Forces Day Military convoy event at Milestones Museum.”
