At 11.00 o'clock on Monday the 11th November, the Academy observed a one minute silence to mark Remembrance Day for 2013. Normal activities across the campus stopped for ten minutes as all students and staff watched a televised broadcast prepared by the Academy Studio.

This broadcast is a great way to both educate our students and to pay respect to those who have lost their life in conflict. We attempt to engage our student audience with thought provoking images; this year's programme looks at the plight of evacuees who were taken from Middlesbrough to places such as Malton and Pickering. Without giving too much away, our film takes a group of five students back in time, as they depart on a school trip and find themselves as evacuees in wartime Britain.

Please take time to view this year's Remembrance broadcast in the window below, and feel free to leave your comments.
