We are immensely proud of our students after their fantastic involvement in our collaborative Remembrance Day event yesterday, which brought our school motto to life: Inspiring OUR Community to Thrive. Over 700 young people from local schools and nurseries joined us at Ibstock war memorials for moving tributes, including student-written poetry, the playing of The Last Post, a two minute silence, and the laying of handmade wreaths. The day concluded at St Denys Church, where we were joined by parents, business leaders and the Royal British Legion to honor local heroes, highlighting the profound importance of Remembrance to our entire community. A special thanks to Amanda Hack MP, Cllr Joyce Moore and Ibstock RBL for joining us.
