One of our Year 10 GCSE classes was exploring developments of surgery during WW1. It was great to see students show their understanding in a more 'hands on' way!

Last week 2 year 12s were given the incredible opportunity to visit Auschwitz, thanks to the #LessonsfromAuschwitz project. They found it a strange cocktail of emotions, and will be relaying their experiences to other Crypt School students next term.
