The historians are on tour in magnificent Munich. 19 pupils and 3 staff did not enjoy the 2.30am departure but we've had a brilliant 4 hour walking tour of the city with local guide Astrid. A particular hit was the memorial to Sophie Scholl.

Thank you Henry Hemming for your visit today - a fascinating talk on the use of fake news to bring America into WW2 - who knew fake news was a problem in 1939! Gloucester History Festival #KingsSchoolLife

Super proud of our two Fifth Form Teams for taking part in a Model United Nations today with Marling School The Crypt School and Archway School. Excellent diplomatic skills on show with pupils winning 'Best Delegate', 'Best Speaker' and a prize for their diplomatic skills.

Our students have had the opportunity this morning to listen in to H.E.T. live broadcast with Holocaust survivor, Susan Pollack MBE. Absolutely heartbreaking to hear but such an important story to share #HolocaustMemorialDay History and Politics | The King’s School

"We all want to create a society with no more racism, no more antisemitism, no more accusations against 'others'. I am absolutely convinced that each generation needs to be taught these lessons." #SusanPollack

Ex RAF Bomber Command and King's Alumnus Graham Terrett, and ex Royal Naval Officer Gordon Ravenscroft, gave a fascinating insight into life serving as young men in WWII, followed by some probing questions from our Senior School pupils. Academic Enrichment | The King’s School #KingsSchoolLife
