Delighted to see @counsellc.bsky.social recognised with an OBE. Where would we be without her wisdom on history, curriculum, assessment? She has profoundly shaped me as a history teacher and curriculum leader. schoolsweek.co.uk/kings-birthd...

Fantastic trip @royalholloway.bsky.social today! We had a great time learning about the ancient world with Dr. Efi Spentzou & the Myth & Voice team. Love hearing the students’ thoughts: “My favourite part of today was exploring the university & making new friends” #Classics #AncientHistory

Really enjoyed having some time to get planning for our two trips focussed around the theme of ‘home’. 1st: all our Y7s will explore the local area, including Reading Museum! The 2nd trip is with Dr. Efi Spentzou @ClassicsRHUL as part of the Myth & Voice project. Exciting times for our students 👏

Since 2022 when I became a subject lead for Humanities I have discovered just how powerful a rigorous, coherent RE curriculum can be and how much it underpins and complements other subjects. Important words from Richard Kueh here.

This story of mahogany is one of the most thought-provoking and illuminating approaches to teaching the transatlantic slave trade I've ever come across. @hannahcusworth.bsky.social has blended her original research into a mesmerising story for Y8, evoking contrasting but connected worlds #Soane25

Fantastic as ever from @counsellc.bsky.social This year I’m leading on our Y7 RPE curriculum & have been amazed at how rich our enquiries can be & how hooked our pupils are. There is brilliant work happening thanks to the #TeamRE community. Here’s to more rigour & a National Curriculum 👏

Geographers! If you want a culture focusing on subjects – their substance, origins & purpose; wide reading, debate & connection with scholarship (rather than generic pedagogy or rehearsing 6-mark questions) check this out. @jessangell.bsky.social is terrific & well known for putting subjects first.
