The History and English depts are planning a fantastic 3 day trip to Ypres, Passchendaele and the Somme to bring to life the schemes of work on the First World War which pupils are studying at KS3, for GCSE and for A'level.

 

We have run this trip before and it is always really exciting to see the students' reactions to the reality of what they have been studying and for them to appreciate the phenominal scale of the action and loss.

The trip is supported by the exam boards as part of the programes of study for History and English at GCSE and A'level and we hope to take all the GCSE historians and A'level literature students as well as any other pupils from years 9-13.

We know that all will all benefit from the experience of standing in cemetaries and shell holes reading memoires, plays and poems resonating through the decades from voices whose lives were forever changed by Politics and who have so become part of our History.

On October 3rd - Monday - at 7pm we are running a presentation to go through the trip logistics and itinerary and it is important that as many people as possible attend this.

We look forward to seeing you there!
