This week is National Cold War Heritage Week, for which there is a nationwide celebration of one of the most fascinating chapters in modern history.

We share Bentley Priory's unique Cold War story for KS3/4 students to enhance understanding and exploration of the Cold War.

Bentley Priory’s Top Secret Bunker was a hub of essential activity from World War II and through the Cold War until the RAF base’s closure in 2008.

As part of this interactive visit, students work as a team to identify, map and calculate threatened nuclear attacks on Britain, listen to oral histories of personnel who worked there, and visit the imposing entrance of the former Bunker (now filled in).
