Our CCF cadets led a moving Remembrance Day parade and service this morning, paying tribute to all those who have served and sacrificed their lives in conflicts past and present. It was an opportunity for the whole school community to come together, reflect and remember, and it was live streamed across @eastmidsacademy, enabling students and staff at other schools to join the occasion and participate in this important act of remembrance. Alongside children from NIA Primary, representatives from three other #EMATter schools Castle Academy, Hardingstone Academy, and Stimpson Avenue Academy also took part in the service, by laying wreaths as a mark of respect and gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Well done to all the cadets for taking part today, including WO1C Georgia Manton, the First Sea Lord's Cadet and an NIA6 student. Georgia's presence represented the wider cadet movement, recognising the important role young people play in demonstrating leadership, service and commitment to their communities.Our cadets' professionalism, respect and dignity throughout the parade reflects the values of the CCF and demonstrates the importance of ensuring that future generations understand and recognise the sacrifices made by others. #wewillrememberthem #dnaofnia #EMATters
