The Rise - Imperial War Museum Trip

On Tuesday 5 May, Year 9 pupils visited the Imperial War Museum for their annual History trip with Miss Allen, ahead of beginning the GCSE syllabus in September. Pupils travelled into London by train from Bracknell to London Waterloo station. While at Waterloo, they spent time looking at the Windrush memorial before continuing on foot to the museum.

On arrival, pupils explored the First World War and Second World War galleries. They tried on military uniforms, examined historical archives, and experienced what life was like in the trenches and in an Anderson shelter. Pupils also spent time learning about the Cold War, the Northern Ireland Troubles, and the Falklands War. The visit concluded with a trip to the gift shop and a picnic lunch in the museum gardens.

All pupils behaved impeccably and represented the school extremely well, as always.
