Thank you to everyone who came to our second Ark Soane History conference yesterday. It was such a joy to see so many history teacher colleagues together.

As always, I’m proudest of our pupils who were so keen to help and talk about history. What a lovely day. #Soane25

Superb session from Jimmy Colenutt on ‘Building Becket’s world’. A brilliant presentation with boundless enthusiasm and energy from Jimmy.
Loved it

Hearing Professor Eamon Duffy talking about his book on Morebath is Early Modernist heaven. #Soane25

It’s always such a pleasure to be in London for the Ark Soane History conference. To my mind, it’s one of the best subject conferences out there. #Soane25

Getting a brief History lesson on D-Day from @mrmountstevens.bsky.social and am suddenly quite envious of his students. #Soane25

Really interesting session from @jacobolivey.bsky.social on Stalin and the Soviet Union. Love the use of powerful images and posters within the enquiry! #Soane25

Love the thinking that @jacobolivey.bsky.social has put into the enquiry in terms of the meaning of the word ‘transform’. Great analogy about a blue chair to explain this. Great stuff

Excellent start to #Soane25 with @sam-jones.bsky.social talking about the power of building pupil comprehension through worlds. As a Viking geek, I loved it. From an ITT and CPD perspective, lots of nuggets to take away and share across our @teachfirst.bsky.social training.

HISTORY TEACHER ROLE!

Our pupils love History at Ark Soane – from Year 7 all the way up to our first Year 10 cohort, 80% of whom do History GCSE.

We’re expanding and looking for another History teacher to join us next September. Could this be you?

Details below! 🙂

#Soane25 is going to be another conference like last year when you need Hermione's time-turner so you can get to all the sessions you want to attend. Really looking forward to it!
If you have a ticket for our #Soane25 History teacher conference, then you'll very soon get the full programme and workshop options – exciting!!

Meanwhile, here is a sneak peak (with more to be revealed). 👇👁️

#Soane25 will be a cracker. Just look at the keynotes. @richkhistory.bsky.social is inspirational in his ambition & scholarship – a must listen.
Then Eamon Duffy talking with Steve Mastin who famously used Duffy's research to recreate Morebath in his classroom!

#Historyteachers do not miss this.

This is going to be so exciting. If you like the idea that the pastis an imagined world to your students, come and think/discuss to how other people do it!

Last year was bloody brilliant, absolute source of joy.

Hoorah! Can't wait for #Soane25!

'Building worlds' is a terrific theme for the second year of this beautiful conference and the history geeks of Ark Soane are perfect hosts.
History teachers everywhere, come for a day of total sanity and joy. Not one spot of dodgy 'sourcework' in sight.

I didn’t get Oasis tickets for 2025 but securing a ticket for this has more than made up for it!

Really looking forward to #Soane25 - this feels like the Glastonbury of history teaching!
