Pupils from the school have also undertaken work experience placements at the museum.

The school has also created a primary school art competition which is run in conjunction with the museum called Bury Remembers.

It is aim to promote a deeper understanding of the reasons for Remembrance Day and the sacrifices made by members of the local community.
