Year 9 classes marked Remembrance Week by visiting the School Chapel to investigate its status as a war memorial and also researched the impact of the First World War by exploring some of the many fascinating documents from the School Archives.

Pupils explored the 1903 school prospectus, Gresham’s magazines of 1914-18, the Vellum Roll of the First World War Fallen of the junior boys, the diaries of junior housemaster, Dallas Wynne Willson, and a couple of contemporary photograph albums.

This provided a unique opportunity to handle original documents and to draw inferences about the School’s relationship with the First World War.
