Bought the loveliest book for my 3 year old. Cannot wait to read this to her! Kunda Kids have an amazing range and could not recommended highly enough!

Exciting to see my #BlackTudors research informing this new BBC Bitesize resource about the lives of Africans in Tudor England. Should be a useful starting point for #historyteacher s #TeachingBlackTudors… bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topic…

Absolutely brilliant session with Justice 2 History yesterday at my first Harris Federation conference! So many great ideas to bring to our curriculum #HFTogether

Any other history teachers keen for this?

And that's a wrap for my first term as HoD. It's been a really productive and enjoyable first term. Now looking forward to some rest and Christmassy fun with Bethan Sian McGarva

Looking forward to another Harris conference today, especially with it being a subject specific day. Looking forward to having far too many new ideas to think about!

Another great conference today! Lots of new and exciting ideas to explore with KS5 coursework and in KS3/KS4. As ever, how will we fit all these new ideas in, the classic struggle! 😂

This will be a fantastic webinar! Nicholas Morton was the lecturer who made me really fascinated with the Crusades whilst at University!

Amazing visit to the Imperial War Museums with our year 9s today. They were a credit to HarrisMerton throughout the trip, in the museum and in the learning sessions. On a separate note, the Holocaust exhibition and learning at the IWM is outstanding. Could not recommend it enough!

Year 9 Historians visited the Imperial War Museum in London today where they experienced the incredibly moving and powerful Holocaust Exhibition. Imperial War Museums
