Pupils form Classes 16, 17 and 18 recently visited Heugh Battery Museum in Hartlepool. 

The Heugh Battery Museum preserves the only First World War battlefield in the UK and commemorates the bombardment of Hartlepool in December 1914.

The Heugh Battery Museum offered an amazing opportunity for the children to learn about the impact of World War One on the civilian population, including during the bombardment of Hartlepool in December 1914, as well as the experience of soldiers serving their country during the First World War.

Pupils got the chance to explore items such as uniforms, helmets, rifles and shells before experiencing life in the trenches in the museum’s replica trench.
