The Year 10 Photography trip to the Royal Armouries was a fantastic experience. Students had the opportunity to explore a wide range of fascinating historical artefacts and unusual objects that captured their interest and provided excellent photographic opportunities. A highlight of the visit was the interactive handling session and costume try-on experience, where students could examine objects up close and try on historical clothing and armour. The trip was engaging, enjoyable and provided valuable inspiration for their GCSE Photography Objects coursework.
