Stepping back in time: History students visit Battle Abbey

📜 Stepping Back in Time: History Students Visit Battle Abbey 🏰
On Monday our History GCSE students stepped back in time with a visit to Battle Abbey, the historic site of the Battle of Hastings (1066). Walking the very ground where history was made, they explored the legacy of a moment that shaped our nation.
Through listening and participating in active learning on the battlefield as well as honouring those that have given their lives in the past, our students demonstrated both motivation and respect. They were also able to reflect on the value of integrity by linking the qualities of great leaders and responsible learners. The students had a great day and have created a strong foundation as they begin looking at the Anglo-Saxons and Normans in class.
