I went to see #kaetempest at Brixton Academy last night and it was one of the most uplifting, beautiful gigs I've ever been to. There was so much love in the room, so much resistance. The final act of the show was an absolute masterpiece, a spoken word montage of lyrics that blew me away ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

So much @1972shp.bsky.social stuff going on right now! Last call to register for SHP UNEARTHED (Nov 10 5-6pm), our groundbreaking (ha ha!) webinar on Empire and Gardening - email [email protected] to sign up.

Just one week to go before our UNEARTHED webinar (just email [email protected] to register for your FREE place). Thought we needed some male role models to publicise the event as currently I am the ONLY male who is attending!! So come on lads, environmental history is for everyone!

Just in time for half term @1972shp.bsky.social is delighted to be able to announce that the tickets for our VIRTUAL Developing Teachers' Conference (Jan 31 2026) are now available from store.leedstrinity.ac.uk/product-cata... for inflation busting prices!

Had a brilliant chat with @corinnefowler.bsky.social this morning to plan our SHP Understanding: UNEARTHED event on November 10 (5-6pm) on the SHP YouTube channel. Corinne will be sharing her deep knowledge about the colonial countryside and the legacy of empire on our gardens ...

This was so much fun! Enjoy listening to the history of the Schools History Project @1972shp.bsky.social and find out why it is just as relevant today as when it was formed in 1972 (hence our Bluesky tag!)

It was so much fun chatting to @carmelbones.bsky.social about the history of the Schools History Project and how it can support the #historyeducation community today and in the future. I hope you enjoy the chat that we had with Mel @histassoc.bsky.social creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

This is an incredible resource for anyone teaching #LGBTQ+ history in schools @missrcarter89.bsky.social @citoyenneclaire.bsky.social @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social

@ihr.bsky.social I am trying to track down a film that was made about the Schools History Project called History 13-16 by Nicholas Pronay learningonscreen.ac.uk/newsonscreen... which may have been digitised, but the links are no longer working. Any help would be much appreciated!

Looks well good

Very excited to share the forthcoming SHP Understanding event from @1972shp.bsky.social: Unearthed (Nov 10 5-6pm). The first in a series of webinars looking at the transformative and radical power of gardening - from the Diggers to Mary Seacole to settler colonialism we've got it covered!

It's a dream team of secondary workshops at #YHF York!

We are thrilled to have you there! Your workshop went down a storm at the @1972shp.bsky.social Summer Conference and I'm sure it will do again in York!

Yes please!! It would be awesome to have loads of Yorkshire teachers joining us.

I am absolutely delighted to be able to share the news about our next @1972shp.bsky.social Yorkshire History Forum which will be taking place in York on November 24th. We have a superb line up of workshops for #primary and #secondary #historyteachers and all for a bargain basement price ...

Great to hear from some OCR B teachers this week, I'd love to hear from more so we can build a programme to support you. DM me or drop an email to [email protected]

Hey @helenpins.bsky.social remember when you said this ... now's your chance to put your 💷 where your 👄 is! Our call for papers is live at SHP Summer Conference 2026 - Call for papers share.google/UgOmtkrJyxfT...

Can I echo @historyrichk.bsky.social, it's so helpful to get your feedback on the OCR SHP GCSE courses, we really want to make sure that we continue to develop, adapt and grow the course.

This is a v imp. piece of research which deserves to be widely read and more importantly, actioned. The continued lack of wider representation clearly indicates that more needs to be done. @1972shp.bsky.social has always championed diversity but we also need to do more to ensure a fairer curriculum

@1972shp.bsky.social 's Developing Teachers' conference is back for 2026. A very accessible online conference for #ITT and #ECT #historyteacher s and #primaryteacher s. @htenuk.bsky.social members - please share with your networks.

Another 'save the date' - @1972shp.bsky.social conference. Opportunities to support the event by sending in a proposal to present a workshop at the event too. #historyteacher #HistoryEducation

Hey #historyteacher and #skystorians I hope the term has started well for you. Read my latest Director's blog about the thinking I've been doing over the summer and the exciting year ahead for the Schools History Project! director.schoolshistoryproject.co.uk/2025/09/19/d...

Hey #historyteacher can you help me decorate my department's classrooms? if anyone has any migration timeline wall displays to share that would be magnificent! Or displays showing key individuals related to migration (KS3 or KS4)?

Please do read this! Lots of overlaps between English and History and some potential ways forward to address some of the challenges we face. It's good to kick down those silos! ##historyeducation #historyteacher @arthurjchapman.bsky.social @fredoxby.bsky.social @petejackson.bsky.social

And even if you weren't able to join @alistairdickins.bsky.social you should still check out these resources, they are phenomenal. On a par with the work of @jcarrollhistory.bsky.social and that's saying something!

It was great, wasn't it! The 🔥 is safe with me! And let's start planning that project soon.

Wasn't it great!! And thanks once again for your contributions, I'll send you the feedback soon, it's off the scale!! And excited to start planning our SHP Understanding project for the Spring Term!

I'm so glad that your were able to join us in Leeds Josh, welcome to the SHP family! Hope to see you again soon.

Heading home after a magical weekend in Leeds for #SHP25. So many awesome moments, but this poetry performance by Natalie Davies perfectly encapsulated some of the key themes: the power of the voice, and the emotional connection it carries, which enables a meaningful understanding of the past.
