Five Year 9 students: Annabel Derry, Mary Tumbrok, George Mountifield, Jade Brindley and Katy Boddy had the fantastic opportunity to visit HMS Iron Duke at the Historical Dockyard and listen to a variety of WW1 poetry. This amazing event was hosted by the Never Such Innocence Foundation in collaboration with the Royal Navy.

The students had the opportunity to ask a variety of questions about the ship’s history and have a full tour of HMS Iron Duke. Afterwards the students were able to share their experience with students from other local schools and all received a beautiful book explaining differing aspects of WW1. This will be extremely helpful, as WW1 poetry is an up and coming topic in English. All of the students were a credit to the school and despite the slightly windy conditions had a fabulous time.
