Fun volunteering at Junior Parkrun this morning! #parkrun #loveparkrun

Fab to see a Museum on Wheels from The Wilson museum (Cheltenham) in my local library today. Getting hands on history can inspire curiosity - it certainly did for my son who had lots of questions! #historyteacher #EduSky Blog link below 👇

Thank you to Liam from @nacoauk.bsky.social who came to deliver some training to our Pastoral team after school today. Really insightful and practical advice #safeguarding #EduSky

Finally got round to reading Teaching History 198 from March. This piece by Ben Arscott on enquiry questions is great, especially after hearing from Michael Riley @histassoc.bsky.social Conference earlier this month #historyteacher #edusky

Super grateful to @samcrome.bsky.social for so freely staring his work - used some of his Research Ed slides to deliver Aspiring Middle Leaders CPD last week. Also shared the first slide with SLT today as we discussed leadership styles and values Thank you Sam!

Still feeling positive & inspired after histassoc.bsky.social conference yesterday. Thank you HA team! On my run this morning I passed through Cheltenham Racecourse and Michael Riley’s closing lecture really resonated - about how sense of identity and connection to nature is so important #HAConf25

Well this was excellent! Love the idea that “unsettling many unsettled facts” is the job of the historian. What a great start to #HAConf25
