On the way back from the HA Conference feeling incredibly energised & inspired.
Real privilege to deliver a session with Pete on the power of stories at GCSE. It was so great to meet new and familiar faces & engage in fantastic curricular conversations. I LOVE our history community! #haconf25

I'm looking forward to our talk at this year's HA conference. Super proud to reflect on how far we've come and how much we've learned. Excited to share practical advice, realistic next steps for history teachers, and to see familiar faces. I love the history teaching community! #haconf2025

Thrilled to share that I’ve been accepted onto the MSc in Learning and Teaching at the University of Oxford, starting this September! As the first in my family to attend university, this feels even more special. Excited for the journey ahead!

Super pleased to have finished another story (in collab w/ the fantastic @petejackson.bsky.social) for our GCSE Nazi enquiry. I can't wait to teach this after half term! We are always open to feedback! @hughrichards.bsky.social @counsellc.bsky.social

Another story from my collaboration with @petejackson.bsky.social - have already taught this one and it went down really well with my students. Also thanks to @helenpins.bsky.social for the fantastic book recommendation. All feedback is welcome and I hope others find this useful too!

Super excited to be presenting at the @histassoc.bsky.social conference in Liverpool with @petejackson.bsky.social on our historical story-based approach to teaching the GCSE. I have really enjoyed collaborating on this, and it has really helped my students so I can't wait to share more!

Collaborating with the fantastic @petejackson.bsky.social on a set of stories for our OCR Making of America enquiries has been so enjoyable! Research for this story has mostly come from the Empire podcast 162. Greatly inspired by @counsellc.bsky.social et al! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
