Year 9 learn about the work of the British Legion

John Hayward with Mr Smith and Miss Ainsworth with some Year 9 students

Today the Library hosted a visit by John Hayward, a local British Legion volunteer. He told the Year 9 English class, who have been studying World War One poetry, about the origins of the British Legion and the work they do in supporting the men and women in the armed forces.

The visit was arranged by Rachel Ainsworth, a trainee teacher in the English Department.

He very kindly donated a collection of books about World War One to the library.
