THE HISTORY LESSONS is OUT NOW! @iconbooks @MMLitAgency - I can’t wait to help readers uncover their historical blind spots and meet some fun and fascinating people along the way
What an honour to be a judge for this incredibly special award!
What a night! 🎉 On Saturday we celebrated our Inspiring History Teaching Awards winners with a special ceremony at the @TowerOfLondon.
It was an unforgettable evening recognising incredible teachers who who make history exciting, inclusive and meaningful (1/3)

What an honour to be part of this 🩷
Ever since my fellow judges of the 'Inspiring History Teaching Awards' met at the Tower of London to pick the winner, and were sworn to secrecy about who it is, I've felt the most enormous urge to blurt it out.
Roll on 20 June when all will be revealed!

I LOVE seeing my book with tabs a-plenty! @iconbooks @jojo_durrant See you all shortly @museuminthepark ✨
Happening on Saturday with @jojo_durrant and we’ve got some great hidden figures from history to highlight!
Despite what we learnt in school, there are important historical perspectives that so many of us missed out on.
@Ms_PatelHistory and @jojo_durrant will be at The Museum in the Park for a riveting conversation on the figures we should know more of.

@Ms_PatelHistory shares that there will be many connections from Asian Empires and the Silk Roads to what teachers are already sharing in their classroom, for example on the British Empire.
