MGGS takes Primary Pupils back to 1940

Buried beneath Maidstone Grammar School for Girls lie WW2 air-raid tunnels. First-hand accounts tell of lessons learned underground and drawings on the walls illustrate that nothing could prevent the girls from receiving their education, not even air raids or bombs. A visitor centre will be included in our new building but, as a result of the huge demand that we have experienced, we have set up a temporary 1940s style base to enable us to commence our updated and immersive primary WW2 education programme. Our first visitors arrived on Monday and we spent the day learning pounds, shillings and pence in mathematics, deciding what to pack as an evacuee, decoding the names of ships and visiting to sets of air raid shelters and learning about what life at MGGS was like during WW2. Great fun was had by all!
