We are proud to present our Great War commemoration activities in school. 

A selection of characters from the Great War are available to visit you. These include:

Sessions may involve more than one educator as per your requirements - so students benefit from a carousel of activities on a variety of topics - such as poetry, life in the trenches, medical treatments, life at home.
