Year 7 went on their first History trip to the Tower of London. They were treated to guided tours across all areas of the Tower including the Crown Jewels (newly returned), the Raven Enclosures, Traitor’s Gate, and the White Tower. This underpinned the topic being studied in Year 7 (Anglo-Saxons and the Norman Conquest) and brought to life the era focused upon in the classroom. We were fortunate to be able to speak to one of the only female Yeoman warders (Beefeater) about her experiences living and working in the tower and had time to explore the significance of the tower both throughout UK History and its importance today as a royal palace. The pupils had a thoroughly enjoyable and educational trip.
