British Museum Trip
3 June 2024
Last term in History lessons Year 8 studied a unit titled 'Who Owns History?', focusing on the Benin Bronzes and Parthenon Sculptures in particular. Students have debated the controversies regarding the ownership of these historical artefacts.
On the last day of term, Year 8 visited the British Museum to see these items first-hand. They had the opportunity to handle ancient Greek and Roman coins and they had an enjoyable day!

Early morning dedication! Our Year 7 Tennis Club braved the cold and hit the courts before school. What an incredible show of commitment from these young athletes. Well done to everyone who showed up and put in a smashing performance despite the chill!
