As part of Remembrance Week 2024, the History Department provided Year 9 pupils with a unique opportunity to engage directly with historical primary sources. This hands-on experience allowed pupils to delve into artefacts such as the 1903 school prospectus, photograph albums, the Junior School vellum Roll of Honour, The Gresham magazines from 1914-1918, and the personal diaries of housemaster Dallas Wynne Willson.

This immersive activity deepened their understanding of the school’s history during World War I and highlighted the significance of remembrance through tangible connections to the past.
