Year 7 recently completed their studies of the English Civil War. This unit helped them to understand the establishment of parliamentary democracy in the UK and explore the conflict and challenges leading up to this. Students also tried on the replica Civil War helmets and handled the replica weapons, helping them to get a sense of the way the Civil War was fought by soldiers.
