GCSE Historians step back in time
Year 11 took the train to London for a sunny Monday visit to the Herb Garrett and Old Operating Theatre in late September. The students received a talk from the museum representative and had the unique experience of sitting in the theatre, where medical students once stood in centuries past. Located in the attic of an old church, the museum is accessible via a long, winding spiral staircase and houses a vast collection of medical instruments and herbal medicines.
In the afternoon, we set out for a guided walking tour of Southwark, exploring markets, the Thames River, and historical hospitals and prisons that no longer exist. It was a highly engaging day of revision, complementing their study of Medicine through Time.
