CWR Post-16
Churchill War Rooms provide a unique environment to explore a historic site, an iconic Prime Minister, leadership and decision-making and how lives in Britain were affected by the Second World War.
School groups can enhance their visit with a learning session delivered in the dedicated facilities provided in the Clore Learning Centre and around the site.
Post-16 students can use the site as a focus for historical study, as a focal point for politics and citizenship or as an example of a highly successful tourist attraction.
OCR's Churchill AS level can be supported in a numbers of ways. We offer study sessions dedicated to increasing student’s general knowledge of Churchill, as well as focussing explicitly on sources of the type used in the exam.
