After 18 years teaching in the UK state sector as a History teacher and Head of History, I am keen to encourage students and teachers with resources that are refreshingly original. The resources are designed for Key Stages 4 and 5 but Key Stage 3 resources will appear ultimately. My resources are designed to be rigorous for the most able of students, yet imaginative and creative enough to engage the more reluctant learners. Please take a look at the free resources here.
