These lionesses 😱🤯

Crying at work is probably the most relatable thing this government has done in a full year

It certainly seems that way…

School rules from the Qing dynasty c1800. Big fan of ‘love their books and keep them from harm’

This playoff final has been written for Netflix

Have yet to properly get into the detail but there is some pretty worrying stuff in this report about pupils’ enjoyment of school and how it falls off in Y7. Huge questions to ask here. Wonder if it’s similar in middle school systems?? www.independent.co.uk/life-style/h...

Hoping AQA have been kind to year 13s taking politics this afternoon. They’ve worked very hard for this

Great piece in @nationaltrust.org.uk magazine. Would be great to get this story into our y8 unit on Georgian Britain

This would be absolutely WILD for politics teachers

Excited to dig into this properly when exam prep is all over

What an amazing and inspiring conference #haconf25! Particularly enjoyed @fredoxby.bsky.social session today and will be thinking more carefully about planning to teach sensitive histories.

Tripling my pride (actually bursting) after a quick run down the corridor to catch a few minutes of @obarnes.bsky.social @uonsoe.bsky.social #PGCE #alumni presenting on his SoW which includes the history of Hong Kong in his curriculum's work on Empire. 🤩 #HAConf25 @histassoc.bsky.social

Has anyone tried to put anything on a usb drive lately? Absolute pain in the neck 😫🤣

The power of beautiful resources I think it’s important to think about beauty when we are evaluating resources we use for teaching. This isn’t about taste, it’s about value. Our pupils deserve the best. /1

Train read, making some late additions to my workshop at #haconf25

Help! Only 1 week until #haconf25

Hugely enjoying @empirepoduk.bsky.social at the moment. An amazing story of Great British Twitishness in the latest episode

Top tip for parent’s evening: bring a book

He said manifest destiny 🤠

Very excited and honoured to be presenting at this year’s #HAConf25. The line up looks absolutely incredible!

Can’t stop thinking about the Monty Hall problem. Is it a wind up?

I’ve written a blog for NACE on using history to create a challenging and engaging curriculum for all: www.nace.co.uk/blogpost/176...

Seen Meet the Rees Moggs is on tonight but I’ve got some drying paint that needs watching so…

Spent thanksgiving at an awards evening for our trust tonight. Although we didn’t win, it was great to hear so many positive ways that our schools are changing lives

Significant judgment in HK. Never been clearer how rights are being stripped away. Top Hong Kong pro-democracy leaders sentenced to jail www.bbc.com/news/article...

Fierce debate on what to watch tonight: A: Mark Rylance masterfully portraying one of the greatest political minds in history B: Coleen Rooney jumping off a building in the Gold Coast 🤔

Pleased to see that the DfE has removed the requirement for 20 hrs of mentor training. Speaking to many fellow mentors about this it was clear the impact it would have on retaining willing mentors in future.

Very much enjoyed sharing our work as a department and discussing where we can take it further

Good to be back for tonight’s Subject Interest group with @victoriacrooks.bsky.social

Hello lots of new followers- if you’re interested in UK History Education, you might find this useful… I’ve built a History Education UK starter pack of accounts I’ve found so far! go.bsky.app/BTJ8SaJ

Really enjoyed The Watchers by Stephen Alford - looking to use it to add intrigue to my year 13 lessons this term.

Still time to sign up - I’ll be talking about Hong Kong’s colonial past and why it should be considered as a case study for the British Empire.

History teachers, any recommendations for historical socks? Christmas is coming up and I’m building a collection.

Very much enjoyed being a tourist and exploring the Tower again yesterday. Back to it tomorrow 💪

Very much looking forward to this. I’d better start panning what I’m going to say
