It has passed in the blink of an eye. From excited Year 8s on their History trip to Dundrum Castle to the confident young women about to embark on life after school. @assumptionlive

‘1930s Germany’ has very much been in the news in recent days. Good thing our pupils in years 10 and 11 have been studying that period, in the detail they have.@assumptionlive

Our Year 10 pupils have been learning about the ‘Shoah’ and the human behaviours which facilitated it. This is fixed annually in the Year 10 programme of study to coincide with the world remembering.@assumptionlive

The Year 8 History classes have been working hard on their personal history road maps. Here are some wonderful examples from 8A and 8E.@assumptionlive
