Countesthorpe Academy Remembrance Day

Today, our school community came together to honor Remembrance Day in a moving tribute to those who have served and sacrificed. A parade of our students belonging to local cadet, scout and guide groups, led by the stirring sound of a bagpiper, made its way through the campus to our Garden of Remembrance, where they joined students, staff, and guests who had gathered to observe a  two-minute silence.

In this shared moment of reflection, we paused to remember those who have given their lives in the line of duty, as well as those who continue to serve, protecting our freedoms and communities.

Our House students worked hard with Mrs Miller and Mrs Harding to create a beautiful, meaningful space where everyone could gather to pay their respects, adorned with symbols of remembrance that invited contemplation and gratitude.

The ceremony served as a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance, unity, and peace, and we are grateful to everyone who participated and helped bring this event to life. We’re especially proud of our students for their contributions and their respect for this significant day.
