THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL TO THE EVACUATION

Our long-term project to erect a National Memorial to the Evacuation is still ongoing. At the Trustees Meeting held in London on 23rd June 2010 it was decided to withdraw from the proposed St Paul’s site and to consider other locations. We are moving forward with this and further updates will follow . . .

BBC4 Documentary

We are really keen to find and feature a story of someone who attended grammar school during the Second World War, and who was evacuated along with the whole school from some of the most dangerous parts of the Country.

It would be fantastic to get a sense of how the school had to pull together; of the different environment that many young children had all found themselves in, and the effect that evacuation had on children, and specifically with regards to their education.

It will be a two part documentary for BBC4 about the history of Britain’s grammar schools.
