The pleasure was all ours! It meant so much to me and many others to spend time with you at #SHP26. Forgive me if I've paraphrased your favourite quote inaccurately, but 'it's more than history, pet, it's family'!

Delighted to attend #SHP26 & see the same enthusiasm, depth of thought, inventiveness & sense of community that's characterised the conference since 1989 - and also a real pleasure to hear first timers praise the welcome they received and the respect they're shown.

Our last session of workshops for Saturday at #SHP26 kicks off with London Teacher of the Year winner Jasmine Kaur, sharing her scheme of work on economic history, focusing on the story of the Lascars, within an SEND context

One week left to book your ticket for the SHP Conference! 40 wonderful workshops, 2 kicking keynotes, 1 raucous roundtable, fabulous fringe sessions, beautiful bildung sessions, and an exhilarating exhibition! If you can't make the whole weekend, then why not join us just for the Saturday!

Thanks @historyrichk.bsky.social, it is such a joy and an honour to be Director, my biggest hopes are that more and more people find the same energy, passion and professional development from SHP that we have benefited from.

This wonderful interview explains what @1972shp.bsky.social is about. @danlyndon.bsky.social reasons for loving SHP are my reasons. Stay for the final question on Dan's funniest teaching moment. I've heard the story before but still managed to spit my tea out.
