This activity is an intriguing project to be involved in. It explores the history of Canford School Pupils who gave their lives in the Second World War. 138 pupils who courageously marched off to war and were killed are bought back to life, (metaphorically, of course) in a special tribute thanks to “Spirit of Place”.

With the help of our fantastic History teachers, pupils are hunting down evidence and facts that piece together to tell us the stories of Old Canfordians who went off to the War and never returned. The pupils are searching the internet and shuffling through the school archives to investigate the topic and put together an exhibition that will be displayed on Speech Day for everyone to see. This aims to be a fascinating way to improve the pupil’s investigatory abilities as well as improve their knowledge on key areas of history.
