After a relaxing morning at the Chateau the pupils are on their way to Tyne Cot to pay their respects to pupils' relatives. This evening pupils will visit the Menin Gate for the Last Post and remember local men from Clitheroe commemorated there. #battlefields2023

Great to have @WarWorkshops back in school. Year 10 students had a great fun!
Set up and ready to go for a day working with year 10 students @WesthoughtonHS on GCSE Medicine on the Western Front.
Great to be working again with such good friends and colleagues.

A fantastic day today with @WarWorkshops - our GCSE students, and some KS3, thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the artefacts and learning about life in the trenches (and we know the staff loved it too!). Brilliant day all round!

A first-hand account of the 1914 Christmas truce, written by Lance Corporal John Dowling (not Downing), 1/East Lancashire. From the Accrington Observer & Times of 5th January 1915 on findmypast. Wishing everyone a happy Christmas and a healthy & peaceful New Year.

Our pupils had such a great day looking at WW1. I would highly recommend this to all history departments. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.
Enjoyed a terrific day yesterday with staff and students @robertbms looking at the story of the Breed brothers from Shefford. Many thanks to all for such a warm welcome.
Today with @EtaHistory working on Medicine on the Western Front. Very much looking forward to it!
