View PostRemembrance Sunday 2025 This year, we reflect on the theme "Service Not Self," which serves as a powerful reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness demonstrated by those who have served during times of war and peace. Across our academies, we embody the values of duty, compassion, and community. We honour those who have given so much and inspire our children and young people to live with purpose and kindness. Let us teach our students the importance of remembrance, not just to look back, but to build a kinder and more inclusive future. #RemembranceSunday #ServiceNotSelf #LestWeForget #GosforthGroup #GosforthJuniorHighAcademy
