Year 8 Event – A Day of Reflection, Learning & Hope Today, some of our Year 8 students took part in a powerful and thought-provoking event focused on understanding the Holocaust from a range of meaningful perspectives. Students explored: Artwork created in response to the Holocaust Poems that capture emotion and experience Testimonials and stories from survivors Through these different lenses, pupils reflected on how personal stories can: Inspire resilience Show the power of hope Highlight humanity even in the darkest times The maturity, respect and engagement shown by our Year 8s throughout the day was exceptional. They listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions, and approached each activity with empathy and curiosity. This important work supports our commitment to developing young people who are not only academically successful, but also kind, reflective and socially aware. A huge well done to everyone involved in delivering and supporting such a meaningful experience
