Local History has been championed by the Schools History Project since the 1970s! When our pioneering predecessors, SCHP, wrote their seminal book, A New Look at History, in 1976 they talked about a new course for history students to study, which they called History Around Us ...

Being mocked by year 11 students cuts deep. I could have been an art teacher. Stereotype cowboy for American West... #historyteacher

I am absolutely thrilled that the @1972shp.bsky.social Developing Teachers' Conference has signed up 95 teachers of history for Saturday, nearly doubling last year's attendance. BUT I really want to hit three figures so am offering 5 free places to the first 5 people who DM me asking for them!

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

Just reading The Good Germans" by Catrine Clay, and absolutely hooked. Brilliant stories of normal people unfolding with the emergence of Hitler's Germany. #historyteacher people this is gold for those that teach the Third Reich.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
