In early May, after a two year hiatus, a group Year 9 pupils and four members of staff took their first trip to the Battlefields in Belgium and France.

Whilst there, they visited important sites from both the world wars, including cemeteries such as Tyne Cot, Langemark and Delville Wood, trench systems and V2 bunkers. They also visited numerous museums around Ypres and a chocolate shop!

A particular highlight was the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate which they attended on Sunday 8 May (VE Day). Three students from Year 9, Christopher, Sam and Finn, presented a wreath on behalf of the school, and Finn was even selected to read The Exhortation in front of the crowd. You can watch the ceremony here.

QEH’s annual Lizzies Awards celebrated pupil creativity with an inspiring showcase of short films based on the themes ‘Three Wishes’ and ‘Myths’.
