The Annual History Dinner - VE Day
May 2, 2025
VE Day was the theme for this year's sixth form History Dinner on Friday 2 May. Both pupils and staff came dressed in a brilliant variety of outfits reflecting the fashions of the time, from soldiers and sailors to politicians and writers. The kitchen produced a range of dishes based on the realities of rationing — particular favourites were the 'wartime pumpkin soup', spam hash and rock buns — and everyone was amazed at how delicious the food was in spite of the restrictions on ingredients.
A musical playlist of 1940s favourites kept everyone in the mood, and the History Department is now busy wondering how to top the event with another exciting theme next year.
