VE DAY CELEBRATIONS

Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of VE Day in East Grinstead

East Grinstead Town Council warmly invites the community to join them in marking a significant milestone in history—the 80th anniversary of VE Day. This commemorative event will take place on Thursday, 8th May 2025. The day will start with a proclamation at the war memorial on the High Street at 9am.

Starting at 6pm at King George’s Field, Moat Road, East Grinstead RH19 3LH, the evening promises to be a joyful celebration, featuring a variety of activities that embrace the spirit of VE Day and its historical importance.

Live performances will set the tone, with music from Choir & Ko, The Conchord Big Band and Stephanie Belle, providing a nostalgic soundtrack to the evening. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own picnic or purchase food on-site as they enjoy the festivities.

GRADUATION 2025

Last night we held our annual Year 11 Graduation Ceremony at the Copthorne Effingham Hotel, and it was a wonderful event to celebrate our graduates who were presented with their certificates in front of their families. Particular recognition went to Cecily Gower who received the ‘Ann Bolt Shield’ for her outstanding contributions in her Record of Achievement, and this was awarded to her by Andy Yule, Chair of Governors. Our worthy joint runners up were Charlotte O’Leary and Charlie Thomas. During the ceremony we were lucky to have performances from our KS3 Choir and a solo performance from Ellie Campbell. We were also incredibly proud to welcome back Zac Lammas, a former student of Imberhorne School, who told his story of how he suffered a catastrophic brain haemorrhage just a few days after his 16th birthday. The audience got to their feet and gave Zac a standing ovation following his motivational and emotional speech of how you can push yourself through challenges to achieve your goals.

YEAR 9
