Bedales students enjoyed a discussion with journalist, broadcaster and author Jeremy Paxman, on his latest BBC documentary about World War One, Britain's Great War.

Jeremy was invited to attend a special gathering of the school's history society, called The Green Ribbon Club, in advance of a special battlefields tour for Block 3 students (Year 9) to the Somme, France, and Ypres in Belgium.

The students gained an insight into Jeremy's book and documentary series and took the opportunity to quiz him on his extensive research and understanding of the First World War.

An important part of the students' tour will include a Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate when students will lay a wreath to mark the 65 past pupils at the school who died.
