Year 9 pupils are to be congratulated on many outstanding entries in the History Trench Competition this year. A significant number of pupils put hours into their creations, and the cakes were particularly good – both in design and taste.  

As Head of STEAM, Mr Saker judged the entries on Saturday and ranked the entries as follows: 

Joint Third: Lloyd G for a poignant and powerfully designed box trench, and Benji J, Freddie M, Wilf B and Tommy S for constructing a life-size trench with accompanying photographs and film.

Joint Second: Hannah C for a beautifully compact and well-modelled shoebox trench, and Will R for an excellent model trench system.  

The Winner: Freya D for a beautifully modelled trench system. 

Well done to everyone who entered.
