World War II - Remembrance

World War Two is a massive topic with many different aspects including local history studies. Rather than teaching just about the home front, schools are now encouraged to take a broader approach.

The role of Women and the Special Operations Executive (SOE) is very popular, the original school for spies. And using our own Enigma machine we can look at the Battle of the Atlantic, code breaking and rationing. 

And there are lots of uniforms and helmets to try on.
