    What an inspiring day of careers education at Marlborough! Yesterday morning, 17 businesses—from law firms to celebrity make-up artists—ran interactive workshops for our Year 8 students. In the afternoon, even more employers from sectors like sustainability, social work, and accountancy joined us for our Year 11 and Post 16 Careers Fair. Our students loved asking questions and exploring new career pathways. A huge thank you to all the businesses, employers, and parents who gave their time to make the day such a success!

    Today, at 11:00 AM, we pause to remember. On Remembrance Day, we observe a two-minute silence to honour the courage and sacrifice of the Armed Forces members who gave their lives in the line of duty. The tradition began in 1919 after King George V requested a moment of reflection on the first anniversary of the Armistice that ended World War I. The two minutes represent a dual tribute: the first minute is dedicated to those who died in the conflict, and the second is for the loved ones left behind to carry on. As the clock strikes eleven, we stand together in gratitude and reflection. We will remember them. #RemembranceDay #ArmisticeDay #LestWeForget #TwoMinuteSilence #PoppyAppeal #WeWillRememberThem #11November
