Delighted to say that the British History BBC Bitesize videos I worked on are live on their website. So pleased with how they turned out. There are videos for prehistory, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and the Victorians available.

The first in a series of posts - thinking about leading history!
The WW2 unit is done! What a complex one but pretty darn pleased with how it flows... Full launch video about what's included out later this week on the main Facebook page.
When you're teaching history, how often do you actively callback to the learning from previous lessons? Making connections is a key part of improving at history and these need to be planned in when we are teaching. 1/3
Treating myself to a writing afternoon on chapter 2 of my forthcoming book. This is the only one which is largely the same as the first book. 😀
2nd KS1 video on teaching disciplinary knowledge is uploading now... :)
Feeling pretty darn pleased to have worked as part of the team to further develop the BRILLIANT Bitesize history offer! The final products look magnificent :D
One of my favourite days of the year to smile at! Go on... take that risk as you never know where it could lead.
Sometimes you just need to enjoy a few hours in the kitchen!
Just sent the first draft of ch 1 of my forthcoming book to the development editor to give them an insight into what they've let themselves in for. There's a certain giddiness to the process! 😃
Who teaches Neil Armstrong as a significant individual? I am writing a new pack for the website to compliment my resources on Amelia Earhart/Captain Cook. L2 focuses on him as being one part of the wider 20th century space race. I've used the idea of chunking knowledge...
Morning everyone, I'm working on a new FREE video series on developing understanding of historian's and the historical discipline across school. Draft 1 of video 1 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi4o... Feedback hugely appreciated. (I am aware of some typos which will be corrected)
Get in touch if interested for Autumn onwards 😊
September it is then for the curriculum update. Good to know ahead of time. Thanks @histassoc.bsky.social and @departmentforedu.bsky.social. 😀 Source: news.service.education.gov.uk/ph75/send/w7...
Huge recommendation for UKS2 bookshelves! @sathnam.bsky.social strikes a brilliant balance between engagement, relevant modern comparisons to bring meaning to the past, and an insight into how historians work. amzn.to/4dbSBIr
This arrived from @histassoc.bsky.social this afternoon on the draft curriculum update. It's good to see things are underway but @schoolsweek.bsky.social said the draft would be published Sp '26... it would be useful for schools to know if this is likely to be Sum or Aut for release to plan ...
A quick heads up for schools, clusters, MATs interested in support across Autumn term.
It's always interesting to think about the narrative flow of a history lesson and which elements support the sense of period alongside those which are an in-depth study because of their powerful importance. This is V1 draft of a Maya lesson which is the skeletal frame from which I'll add depth...
What does it mean to communicate in history? Each subject discipline has its own emphasis and manner of communicating. In history, there are certain components that are pivotal to understand to avoid misconceptions and develop a rich understanding of history...

Love a virtual 1:1 - today we collaboratively planned a KS1 local history unit to be rolled out next term!
Hi, I've not given a freebie away for a while and wondered if this would useful to people? It's a survey I've put together with the intention of supporting staff and schools to consider where next for their curriculum while we await the curriculum update.
Just trying to narrow down my top 5 picks for the @hrp-palaces.bsky.social and @histassoc.bsky.social inspiring teacher awards for the North East and Yorkshire! Good grief the standard is astonishing.
This is a great FREE cpd opportunity for members of @histassoc ! It came through on my February roundup but I've pasted the link below. Early medieval England is a fascinating period of time and curriculum attention...
Really looking forward to working with primary history folk in #rochdale next month! Hope to see you there :)
Wrote 1,100 words of a new blog on my recently completed ks1 history unit today. Needs some edits, corrections and hopefully publish later this week :)
Had the best day lecturing for @embracescitt.bsky.social in the North West focusing the important role of Geographic and Historical Enquiry to drive the subject forward. This is my favourite final slide... find the joy and pleasure in teaching! If you know the story, you know...
Really excitified (excited + terrified) for the launch of my new CPD model in Shrewsbury on Wednesday in partnership with @empowertrust.bsky.social! There are just over 40 people attending and this is a model I'm planning on rolling out more in Summer term.
