A pleasure to speak with Miss Tappenden Highfields School History Department & hear all about HSWVHolocaust latest #HtFMeUs plans, reflect on rather special musical response, 'My Hometown' & Beacon news. Super grateful for her time & enthusiasm for upcoming exciting opportunities. #feelinginspired

We're proud to share the short video created for open morning, showcasing our journey as a Holocaust Education Quality Mark Beacon School in Holocaust Education and participation in RWBAHolocaust #HtFMeUs project! youtube.com/watch?v=9TcVhd…

Well done Libby and Bella! 👏👏 So many parents stopped to tell us how impressive, knowledgable and confident you were. We’re so grateful you gave up your time to support the History department this morning, and lots of Year 6s were enthused for RWBAHolocaust #HtFMeUs 🤩

Great pleasure to visit Highfields School today & work alongside Miss Tappenden, Ms Ellis & Highfields School History Department students deepening & enriching their K&U of #BerniesJourney, Passover & more. Lovely to hear how #HtFMeUs is impacting new & alumni HSWVHolocaust students & how project evolves.

Was lovely to share a special short message yesterday with Highfields School History Department students embarking on the #HtFMeUs project, following #Berniesjourney. Thanks Bernie & Charlotte Lane for facilitating. Bernie's encouraging words were appreciated by HSWVHolocaust & Miss Tappenden.

“When we stop talking about something, then it is truly gone” Words of wisdom from Year 12 student, Prehlaad, about why Holocaust education and using personal stories and names is so important today. A strong message shared to Year 8 about their roles as witnesses of the past.

Congratulations Prehlaad! A powerful demonstration of the impact peer education can have. Year 8 were gripped and wanted to hear more about your experiences and reflections from your visit to Auschwitz.

Today, on Genocide Prevention Day, we at Highfields School pledge to use our Holocaust Education QM Beacon School status to ensure continued quality Holocaust and Genocide education throughout our curriculum and commit to #BerniesJourney RWBAHolocaust #HtFMeUs project.

A huge thank you to Muskeen in Year 13 who presented her reflections from participation in H.E.T. #LessonsFromAuschwitz project on Friday afternoon to 60 Year 9 students. Students were captivated by your experiences and it was delightful to see them engage with your work 👏

Thank you to Nicky from Anne Frank Trust for spending the last 2 days delivering the Voices for Equality programme to our young people, many of whom are active participants of RWBAHolocaust #HtFMeUs project and part of out DiverseCity legacy project

The weather forecast for Ypres is dry and mild for the next few days. But the ground can still be damp and muddy in places - don’t forget your walking boots/old trainers and a bag to store them in so they don’t dirty your case on the way home!

Beautiful day here in Ypres as we make our first visit at Hooge Crater

Our second visit of the day, Tyne Cot Cemetery

This morning we began our day at Messines, before heading back into France to begin our tour of the Somme region.

We can’t believe it’s the final day of our tour already. Still some amazing things to see before we head for Calais. Lots of evidence of war still present today at Pond Farm.
