Yesterday evening was a busy Sixth Form Open Evening - our cardboard Iron Lady got people talking! Great to share our A-Level course. Then straight into the Battle of Hastings this morning, with gasps from Year 7 as a single arrow brought Anglo-Saxon England to an abrupt end.

Year 7 are currently learning the story of Aethelflaed. How did she repel the Vikings? Why has her story been forgotten? The book is also a new addition to the library @QESEngLib
