DECEMBER 2024
CHERRY LANE DISPLAY IS A GREAT SUCCESS
After missing a wet year last year the bonfire and fireworks display were back at Cherry Lane Garden Centre again on 3rd November. Thousands of people, mostly on foot turned out to witness the fantastic display of pyrotechnics. There were food stalls doing a roaring trade and fancy light sticks being sold. The local Scout group help with the marshalling and also receive the funds from the evening to help fund the busy annual programme of activities for youngsters in the village. A big thank you to the Garden Centre staff for their continued support of the event.

ACADEMY REMEMBER
On Monday 11th November our Countesthorpe Academy community came together to honour Remembrance Day in a moving tribute to those who have served and sacrificed. A parade of our students belonging to local cadet, scout and guide groups, led by the stirring sound of a bagpiper, made its way through the campus to our Garden of Remembrance, where they joined students, staff, and guests who had gathered to observe a two-minute silence.
In this shared moment of reflection, we paused to remember those who have given their lives in the line of duty, as well as those who continue to serve, protecting our freedoms and communities.
Our House students worked hard with Mrs Miller and Mrs Harding to create a beautiful, meaningful space where everyone could gather to pay their respects, adorned with symbols of remembrance that invited contemplation and gratitude. The ceremony served as a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance, unity, and peace, and we are grateful to everyone who participated and helped bring this event to life. We’re especially proud of our students for their contributions and their respect for this significant day.
