🔔 SAVE THE DATE 🗓️ We're hosting another one-day conference for history teachers (and friends) at Ark Soane Academy, London. How can history teachers bring the past to life? How can we immerse pupils in past worlds? And more! Sat, 8 February 2025. Tickets to be released soon!

Excellent! This looks set to become an annual event. If you want to be truly subject-led in your pedagogy – led by narrative flow, sense of period/place, the analytic direction of the enquiry question – do come. Last year's was a triumph of knowledge-rich over information-rich.
