History Trip to Tower of London

On Thursday 20 October 2022 Second Year pupils visited the Tower of London.

Pupils enjoyed seeing the exhibits of armour within William the Conqueror’s White Tower and participated in workshops focusing on the Norman Conquest and stories of Protest and Rebellion.

During a year when the crown jewels have once again been in the national spotlight, students were particularly curious to see them first hand and were astonished by the size and quantity of precious stones that decorate them; this prompted much discussion about watching the Coronation of King Charles next year.
