- Great to see @leedstrinity.bsky.social @1972shp.bsky.social getting so many mentions in this book - not just from SHP authors but also those reflecting on the huge impact SHP has had on history teaching in the past 50 years!

- Ready to go at #haconf25! (Obviously I had to make sure I set all my resource sheets out a good 20mins ahead of the start of the workshop.)
- Come and join us for @1972shp.bsky.social #SHP25 on 11-13 July up in Leeds. This is just one of a host of brilliant workshops which seek to broaden and enrich the history curriculum for young people #historyteacher www.schoolshistoryproject.co.uk/summerconf/
