Today, I am mostly enjoying the steep slope that has led from HRH to "a 66 year-old man from Norfolk".

In febrile times, exploring how we prepare teachers to address SCIs feels all the more important. We're delighted Rob Kanter and @helenfcarr.bsky.social will be sharing their important work and experiences with us at the next @htenuk.bsky.social conference. Make sure it is in your diary. 🗓️

This is really quite depressing - maybe I am naive or blinkered, but I cannot understand why you would choose not to introduce this.

Perhaps my favourite day in the teaching calendar: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves day, in which I get to share my favourite historical documentary with my trainees and then sadly explain why they can't use it to teach medieval history. Or English geography. At least I didn't use a spoon.

Resharing this for new followers. Please do have a read of these articles about the history of a Muslim school in London and about the frankly absurd decisions made by the Michaela School about prayer.

Seems like some sort of move towards sanity and positive that the DfE has actually responded to feedback.

This has left me floored with sadness, it is an immeasurable loss. Helen did so much for so many of us in the history education community (and of course beyond it) and it's hard to imagine it without her. She was, as one of my students said recently, a "celebrity" and will be missed so very much.

I've been a bit of a lurker since I joined here a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to start with two posts shamelessly promoting a couple of articles I have written about religion and schooling. My third post will, in contrast, be a picture of a cat in a jumpsuit. theconversation.com/the-school-c...

The school Cat Stevens built: how Conservative politicians opposed funding for Muslim schools in England

Archival documents show that in the 1980s, British education officials refused to engage with Muslim communities about funding faith-based schooling.
