The experience was deeply moving and gave Harry a profound understanding of the human impact of hatred, discrimination and prejudice. As part of the project, students also attend seminars before and after the visit. Harry will now create and share a piece of work with our school community, helping others understand why remembrance, empathy and standing up against hate remain so important today. 

Harry represented Isebrook with maturity and thoughtfulness, showing a genuine commitment to learning from the past to help shape a kinder future. 

We are incredibly proud of Harry for taking part in such an important eductional experience. His insight and perspective will enrich our whole community when he shares his learning in the coming weeks with students, staff and governors and will  build on the work all students across the school have done during Holocaust Memorial  Day. This year’s Holocaust Memorial Day workshop brought powerful learning and heartfelt reflection to our school community. Three of our students opened the session with a beautiful trio performance centred on world peace, equality, inclusion and diversity—setting a thoughtful and respectful tone for the day. 

The workshop took place in the Drama Room, where students explored a presentation on World War II, the Holocaust and the meaning of equality, inclusion and diversity. The session also included a moving Memorabilia Exhibition. Each class had the chance to take a closer look at the flags displayed on WW2 uniforms, helping them understand the stories and symbolism behind them.

As part of the event, students were invited to take part in our school competition, “Design a Flag That Represents You.”
