CTS Remembrance Assembly

We held our Remembrance assembly today to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom. We remember those who have fought and who are fighting still and also, their family members and loved ones. We remember what they have sacrificed and given up for our country. Remembering ensures that no-one is forgotten as the nation unites to honour all who have suffered or died in war.


The assemblies were lead by our CCF students and students who are active members of the local Air Cadets. Year 13 student Reece organised the assemblies and it was lovely see the CCF cadets and air cadets together for this commemoration.

Attendance Matters

Every single day a student is absent from school equates to a day lost of learning. At Corby Technical School we pride ourselves in maintaining excellent attendance. Our target is to achieve and maintain a whole school attendance of above 96.5%. We will be giving you weekly updates on our whole school attendance, the tutor group and house who achieved the highest attendance this week.
