Year 7 have been studying religion and how it changed in medieval and early modern Britain. As such they looked at the Catholic Church’s ideas regarding Heaven, Hell and Purgatory and the role they played in society.

Parents might want to look at this interesting insight into the minds of eleven and twelve year old boys at Beverley Grammar School.
