Learners Join Anstey Community for Remembrance Parade

Learners and staff from Martin High School were proud to take part in the recent Anstey Remembrance Parade, joining local organisations and community groups in paying tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for their country.

Representing the school were three learners from Years 10 and 11, who marched alongside members of the local community from St Mary's Church to the war memorial at Jubilee Hall. During the service, they had the honour of laying a wreath on behalf of Martin High School as a mark of respect and remembrance.

The event brought together a wide range of community groups, including local Scout organisations, cadets and primary school pupils. The service was led by Reverend Gough and included prayers, readings and an opportunity for reflection, with the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire also in attendance.

Our learners represented Martin High School exceptionally well throughout the morning. They conducted themselves with maturity, dignity and respect, demonstrating the values that are so important to our school community.

The parade formed part of our wider programme of remembrance activities. Throughout the week, learners have been taking part in Remembrance Assemblies led by Associate Principal Mr Gamble, exploring the importance of remembrance and reflecting on the courage, sacrifice and service of those who have given so much. 

We are incredibly proud of the learners who represented Martin High School at the parade and of the respect they showed while honouring this important occasion.
