Year 6 Visit RAF Cosford Museum: A Journey Through the Skies and History
Year 6 pupils had the exciting opportunity to visit the RAF Cosford Museum — a place rich in aviation history and wartime heritage. As part of their history curriculum, the visit helped to bring to life their learning about World War II and the role of the Royal Air Force.
During the day, pupils explored several of the museum's impressive hangars, each packed with real aircraft from different eras. From iconic WWII planes like the Spitfire and the Hurricane, to Cold War jets and modern military aircraft, the children were fascinated by the scale and design of each machine. Guided by museum staff and their own curiosity, they learned how each aircraft played a role in defending Britain’s skies.
A highlight of the day was discovering what life was like on the home front during WWII. Through engaging exhibits and interactive displays, Year 6 found out about air raids, rationing, evacuation, and the daily lives of both civilians and RAF personnel. Trying on a range of military uniform added to the experience.
The visit sparked thoughtful questions and lively discussions, with pupils making links between the historical artefacts and the lessons they’ve studied in class. It was a powerful, immersive experience that deepened their understanding of the past and helped them appreciate the courage and resilience of those who lived through such challenging times.
A memorable and educational experience that brought history to life in a truly inspiring way!
