In November, two Sixth Form historians delivered fascinating talks at the Gresham’s History Society with thought-provoking presentations on key moments in history.

Amelia P delivered an animated talk on the 2012 discovery of King Richard III’s remains beneath a Leicester car park and how recent state-of-the-art technology had recreated his voice, even replicating his Yorkshire accent.

Following this, IB historian Eva O’D’s presentation discussed the significance of the 1982 Falklands War in shaping the emerging relationship between US President Ronald Reagan, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.  

The talks were a testament to our pupils’ passion for history and their ability to connect the past to the present through research and engaging storytelling.
