Year 10 historians studying Medicine Through Time as part of their GCSE History course were able to explore the impact of the printing press in the Renaissance period by visiting the School Archive.

They journeyed to the basement under the Library to explore the Foundation Library, which dates back to the time of Headmaster Thomas Tallis. Pupils were able to handle books dating back to the 1530s and received a memorable insight into the difference that the printing press made to the transmission of knowledge.
