Hugely enjoyed taking part in this podcast #FH366

Thank you to MP Wera Hobhouse for using her brilliant Jane Austin speech in Parliament to call for greater equality for women in education. Only around 5% of GCSE pupils stud­ied a text writ­ten by a woman for Eng­lish lit­er­at­ure in 2024. @werahobhouse.org.uk

Huge congratulations to Sarah and Andrea on their Teaching History article. Great example of how we can champion lesser known voices in history, on this occasion, and so pleased to see the ESIS report being put into action. 👏🏼 @sehartsmith.bsky.social @endsexisminschools.bsky.social

Eagerly awaiting the launch of Labour’s plan to tackle the national emergency of violence against women and girls next week. It’s looking like there will be a focus on prevention, boys and the school curriculum. However we fear a gender balanced curriculum will be overlooked once again.

Recent research carried out by the Teaching Medieval Women group supported by NTU, shows that women are critically underrepresented in History assessments in English secondary schools at GCSE and A-Level: theconversation.com/women-are-st...

We are looking for girls aged 12-18 who want to have their voices heard regarding parks. We are creating a video and would love them to be part of it. Find out more: www.makespaceforgirls.co.uk/blog/be-part...

Our very own @sashasmith.bsky.social spoke @reteachuk.bsky.social to share her thoughts on the Curriculum And Assessment Review report.

✨ History isn’t complete if half the population is missing @sashasmith.bsky.social & @katemossewriter.bsky.social join the Reteach #Podcast to reveal: ❗59% of KS3 lessons feature no women ❗Only 5% of schools teach a named woman in every period 🎧 Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/3YtK...

A historian’s reflection on the Curriculum and Assessment Review. Disappointingly more female representation and perspective was not explicitly mentioned in the report for History or any other subject. The Historian sets out how she’d fix this.

We are deeply concerned that the Curriculum and Assessment Review report fails to address the invisibility of women and girls in what is taught in schools. We submitted evidence showing that male perspectives dominate every subject, sending the message that men's contributions matter more.

Huge thanks to Educate for this feature on our @endsexisminschools.bsky.social History report, alongside @katemossewriter.bsky.social ‘Change is needed’. 💪🏻

We’re delighted to be guests on the ReTeach History podcast along with @katemossewriter.bsky.social

Following on from the @endsexisminschools.bsky.social report, the Mirror has compiled some examples of historic women to include in school History lessons. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Yesterday TMW's own Natasha Hodgson @nrhodgson-hist.bsky.social spoke with Naga Munchetty and Shalina Patel on @bbc5live.bsky.social about the recent @endsexisminschools.bsky.social report on the limited representation of women in the History curriculum. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... (starts at 2:19:35)

Natasha Hodgson @nrhodgson-hist.bsky.social also talked more about the findings of the @endsexisminschools.bsky.social report in the following Tes article.

A recent report by @endsexisminschools.bsky.social found that 59 per cent of KS3 history lessons don’t feature any women, while just 12 per cent focus on women. @ellencph.bsky.social speaks to the teachers trying to change that. www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

Nihal gets it. Women should be included in history lessons - it helps boys develop empathy and understand women’s perspectives. Check out our new research into the History curriculum - endsexisminschools.org.uk/campaign-pro... @therealnihal.bsky.social @katemossewriter.bsky.social

Most key stage 3 history lessons don’t feature any women, research shows. Teachers tell Tes about the changes they are making to address this gender imbalance in the curriculum

TES article on our ESIS report after Natasha and I were interviewed, and featuring great examples of curricula change from history teachers across the country. www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

As we launch our report into the History curriculum the wonderful @katemossewriter.bsky.social has published Feminist History for Every Day of the Year, which celebrates women and girls of the past and the present. Buy Kate’s book and check out our report: endsexisminschools.org.uk/campaign-pro...

Including more women and girls in the taught curriculum will help keep working class girls engaged in school and show them what they can become.

“59% of history lessons at key stage 3 did not mention women at all” and “when women were mentioned, the report found they were more often victims than protagonists, with the women murdered by Jack the Ripper more likely to be taught […] than the female code breakers at Bletchley Park”

The report featured in the Guardian today on the inclusion of women in hustory lessons is really important - lets make women’s voices heard and their actions remembered. www.history.org.uk/secondary/ca...

The History and wider team at @endsexisminschools.bsky.social are grateful for the support of @histassoc.bsky.social for making their articles and research into women in the curriculum open in their article on our report. Change is possible, thank you HA! www.history.org.uk/secondary/ca...

Important research out today based on a national survey of on the teaching of women in History at schools in England @beckyfrancis.bsky.social @mrjamesob.bsky.social @royalhistsoc.org @ihrlibrary.bsky.social @histassoc.bsky.social

Be sure also to read more about the End Sexism in Schools's report in today's Guardian.

Immensely proud to be part of the incredible team who authored this report! The 'Great History Heist' presents results from a national survey of the teaching of women in History at KS3, and suggests pathways for improving the systemic barriers affecting representation in the classroom.

Publication day is here for our @endsexisminschools.bsky.social report: ‘The Great History Heist: Reclaiming Women’s Place in the History Curriculum’ a nationwide research project into the representation and teaching of women in the KS3 history curriculum endsexisminschools.org.uk/campaign-pro...

Thank you to @theguardian.com for covering our report into what’s taught in History lessons at Key Stage 3. Spoiler: mostly men. It’s time to end sexism in schools.

We’re launching the results of our research into gender balance in the History curriculum today. The report - The Great History Heist: Reclaiming Women’s Place in the History Curriculum - found only 12% of History lessons feature women as their main focus. 59% featured no women at all.

Wonderful article from @katemossewriter.bsky.social citing our @endsexisminschools.bsky.social report, due to be published on Wednesday. observer.co.uk/news/columni...

Sexism and misogyny are embedded into the school curriculum and we urgently need to tackle it.

Here we go, it’s nearly time! One or two events to celebrate publication, so come and say hello! All details and pre order on website, or click link below for events linktr.ee/FeministHist...

NEW RESEARCH Manopolies: How the education system embeds sexism in GCSE English Literature. Only 5% of students studied a female authored text at GCSE in 2024. And there is no incentive to pick female authored texts. We uncovered that no education body is monitoring diversity in the curriculum.

It was inspiring to hear so many people sharing insights into how boys can be encouraged to prevent violence against woman and girls at the launch of this important new report by @evawuk We especially welcome the recommendation that 'whole of institution' approaches are needed.

Delighted to welcome @inparenthesis.bsky.social as Author Supporters for the End Sexism In Schools charity. Rachael & Clare stand with ESIS in calling for 50% of whole, taught class novels and reading lists in schools to be authored by women, with 50% the lead protagonist being women and girls.

Please nominate End Sexism In Schools for this. It only takes a minute 🙏

The last week of term has ended and amongst it all the amazing @endsexisminschools.bsky.social History team have put in 9 hours of Teams meetings and goodness knows how many hours writing between us. Feeling incredibly of what we’ve achieved in the last 3 years and excited to see it come together!

While we welcome the new RHSE guidelines announced by the government, this is only part of the solution to ending the endemic of misogyny in schools.

What can schools do to help end sexism? Dr Lara Wood, Reader in Socio-Cognitive Development at Abertay University, argues that to end sexism and misogyny in schools, we need to start young and be proactive in positively challenging children’s behaviour. @larawood.bsky.social

Mary Ann Seighart appreciation post. End Sexism In Schools is so grateful to have Mary Ann as our Patron. Check out our review of her book The Authority Gap @masieghart.bsky.social

Delighted to write a blog for @endsexisminschools.bsky.social prodiving some evidence-based tips on how educators can challenge sexism in schools endsexisminschools.org.uk/what-can-sch...

A new publisher focusing on male authors? This is not the answer to the rise in misogyny. Boys and men need to read books by women.

So much chat about Adolescence atm - talking to my 15 yo son he noted there are few female role models that inspire boys. Interesting - maybe partly because they invisible in the curriculum? @endsexisminschools.bsky.social endsexisminschools.org.uk/adolescence-...

Why don’t pupils learn about women in history lessons? There are a range of barriers to bringing women’s history to the classroom - and plenty of ways teachers can introduce diversity. Check out Natasha Hodgson’s wonderful blog for @royalhistsoc.org

We’re extremely concerned the Government’s Curriculum and Assessment Review doesn’t address the invisibility of women and girls in the curriculum. Jamie hasn't had the chance to discuss female perspectives of the world in school. Showing Adolescence in schools is not nearly enough.
