It's the final countdown, the last chance saloon, the end of the line!! Tickets are still available from store.leedstrinity.ac.uk/product-cata... but the box office for the Schools History Project's Developing Teachers' Conference closes tomorrow at midnight!
We would love to see lots of new teachers sharing the histories they think need to be told!
PLUS - anything you submit to the Planning Lab will automatically be entered into our Curriculum PATHS Ethical Awards: curriculumpaths.schoolshistoryproject.co.uk/2025/03/22/e...
What Labour should be doing is creating a new narrative about immigration - about welcoming people who make a contribution but reducing the numbers who don't.

NEW: Sure Start generated widespread, long-lasting benefits for children in education, health, absences, and SEND.
Every £1 of up-front spending on Sure Start could generate around £2 in total benefits over the long run.

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism.

The Planning Lab builds on the work of the Curriculum PATHS Planning Hub but for work you have not yet fully tested in classes. Why not get some inspiration here and find out what Curriculum PATHS is all about: padlet.com/cpaths/shp-c...
You can submit things solo or work together on a submission.
My MAT leave starts next week, so starting to wind down by waving goodbye on here until October!
My wonderful team will be carrying on the incredible work we do to train history teachers while I take on a new challenge over the next few months!
Are you a beginning / trainee #historyteacher? Think history can help young people reflect on issues of truth and justice in a complex world? Want to share your ideas with others?
