How we have tried to link the international to the local…
• While we focus on the national and international nature of the war, we wanted more of a local focus.• How did the war impact on our
local area?
• Time to research has been one of the stumbling blocks BUT it is well worth doing.
• We have so far tried to do this through our annual battlefields trip and are rolling parts out in our year 9 SoW from September 2014.

• The starting point for our SoW & for our battlefields trip.
• For part of our preparatory work before our battlefields trip, pupils conduct a questionnaire in Derehamfocussing on what the public’s perception of the memorial is:• Is it prominent enough?• Is it looked after enough?• Could it be improved?
• If getting there is an issue OR you have a huge number of villages in your school area, a very useful website.

• They are a massively underused resource.
• They have such a wealth of evidence that just isn’t being used by many schools.
The Light Dragoons are based in Swanton Morley, which is only 4 ½ miles from our
school. Many pupils attend the school who have links
to the unit and the base.

• I was lucky to have a predecessor who had a HUGE amount of information about the Norfolk regiment from his research of one particular individual.
• He had also got hold of 2 sets of letters from 2 different soldiers in the Norfolk regiment.
• These letters could be of real use to pupils.
• Hopefully this has been of some use!
