Pupils in the Year 8 and 9 Archaeology classes, which are part of our character curriculum, took part in an ‘archaeological mystery’ this week. They analysed evidence from the Anglo-Saxon settlement site at Trumpington excavations in Cambridgeshire and focused their investigation on a high-status grave. A recreation of the burial allowed the classes to study the grave goods and build their interpretations.

Thanks to the Science Department for the loan of the skeleton.
