Kimbolton School’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF) pupils took part in the Remembrance Sunday parade through Kimbolton village, joining the local community to pay tribute to those who gave their lives in service to our country.
The cadets proudly represented the School on an occasion that brings generations together to remember the fallen. Their participation reflected the close relationship between the School and the village, with pupils playing their part in a shared act of remembrance.
Throughout the parade, our cadets showed dignity, discipline and respect. Their impeccable conduct honoured the significance of the occasion and was a credit to both the contingent and the School.
Remembrance Sunday offers young people an opportunity to reflect on the human cost of conflict and the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces, past and present. Taking part in the commemorations gives that reflection a place beyond the classroom, connecting pupils with the community and the lives remembered.
We are proud of the commitment our CCF pupils demonstrated and the care with which they fulfilled their role on this important day.
Following Sunday’s parade, pupils and staff at both the Prep and Senior Schools came together on Wednesday 11 November to mark Armistice Day. At 11am, each school observed a two-minute silence, pausing to honour those who lost their lives in conflict and reflect on the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces.
