Sixth form students are taking part in events to mark Holocaust Memorial Day today.

We started with Livvi and Flo, our Auschwitz ambassadors, delivering a presentation to their peers. Students and staff were completely engaged - it was very though provoking.

Mr Leigh's assembly

Mr Leigh delivered an inspiring assembly about his personal story and family background. We heard about the amazing story of his grandmother's survival through both World Wars and the Holocaust. We are lucky to have staff who are willing to share their experiences with students, especially when they are so emotionally challenging. Students benefited hugely.
 
Sixty 6th formers also had the opportunity of watching a live webcast of Janine, a Holocaust survivor.
