History students in Year 10 had the fantastic opportunity to participate in a WW1 Battlefield Medicine workshop delivered by Frontline Living History. Designed to support the Edexcel GCSE Medicine Through Time historic environment study—The British sector of the Western Front, 1914–18: injuries, treatment and the trenches—the workshop was led by WWI expert David Allton, an experienced historical interpreter specializing in battlefield medicine re-enactment.

Students were able to handle authentic artefacts, take part in immersive role-play activities, and gain a deeper understanding of the brutal realities of trench conditions and medical treatment during the war. This hands-on enrichment experience truly brought their study of WWI to life, deepening both their knowledge and engagement.
