"The Leger holidays trip to Krakow and Berlin provided the ideal opportunity to bring events of the Second World war and the Holocaust into perspective. The group of 30 Sixth Form history students found themselves walking the same streets they had been studying days beforehand. The experience allowed them to focus their learning and fix key events and details in their memories and certainly assisted in improved exam results"
