I am absolutely thrilled that the @1972shp.bsky.social Developing Teachers' Conference has signed up 95 teachers of history for Saturday, nearly doubling last year's attendance. BUT I really want to hit three figures so am offering 5 free places to the first 5 people who DM me asking for them!

Over 150 colleagues signed up for the KS3 Ambitious Years webinar with @stevewillshaw.bsky.social @lambhearttea.bsky.social & me.

Alex, on the difference scholarly, but accessible texts make to learning. I love that she talked about them not being 'gobbetised'!
