We featured on ITV Calendar for VE day!

Posted 9th May 2025

To celebrate VE day, our students wrote letters to a WWII veteran, studied famous speeches and poems and discussed what it must be like to be involved in a war. Our focus throughout the day was on unity and the importance of understanding and having respect for one another, empathy for those who lived through war or fought within. At lunch time we had a fish and chips themed picnic and listened to music from the 1940's whilst toasting the King of England and peace.

Our VE day celebrations were featured on ITV Calendar as part of their 'how our region remembers' segment, showcasing our efforts to acknowledge VE day. You can watch the segment here from 0:10:02 - 01:10:25.
