We stepped back in time this week to commemorate Victory in Europe (VE) Day, marking the end of World War II in Europe on May 8, 1945.
The day was filled with engaging activities, hands-on learning, and 2 educational trips that helped bring this moment in history to life.
Students designed their own wartime decorations and the classrooms and corridors were dressed with Union Jack bunting. We celebrated with a special lunch menu including Coronation Chicken, Finger Sandwiches and Victoria Sponge Cake.
There were also 2 visits to Stockport Air Raid Shelter, where students got a first-hand glimpse of life on the Home Front. Walking through the original underground tunnels, they learned about air raids, rationing, blackout procedures, and how families sought safety during bombings. The immersive experience sparked meaningful conversations among the students and deepened their appreciation for the resilience of those who lived through the war.
Special thanks to all staff, students, Parents and Carers who helped make the day memorable. It was a powerful reminder of how history can be both educational and deeply inspiring when brought to life in meaningful ways.
