A lovely few days for (3/4s of)Team History from @endsexisminschools.bsky.social sharing our research, promoting women in the curriculum, soaking up all the history, and arguably the highlight of it all… absolutely smashing the bridge building contest in the HA Quiz! #HAConf26

Hope that this helps to give some guidance for teachers who want to make change happen in their curriculum sooner. Get in touch to collab and help us get more women into history lessons in schools!
