For obvious reasons, the situation in Ukraine hit peak interest in school. Students keen for answers/reassurance. Tip of the iceberg but the ‘conflict at a glance’ looks to the geography, history/politics of the dispute. Hopefully it provides accessible insight. #historyteacher

Lots of role play in Miss Summerfield's class this past half term!! Who said learning History was boring and all writing?!!

Fantastic resource to help promote Black History Month, thank you for sharing

Finally got my copy of Fury of the Vikings, a fantastic accompaniment to our new module on the formation of England. Exciting, engaging literature to really enthuse our young historians. Thank you Dominic Sandbrook!

Day two of Y7s History trip to Skipton Castle. Nice day for it. Newman Catholic College #history #skiptoncastle

Another great day out with year 7 pupils from Newman Catholic College at Skipton Castle Some excellent questions were asked about life in the castle. Some were very intrigued by The Long Drop….

The sound of the machines in the mill was unbelievable!

We had a fantastic day out at Quarry Bank Mill last week. The pupils were thoroughly engaged by all the activities and range of information on offer. All the volunteers were extremely knowledgeable and we will definitely be booking to come back next year! National Trust
