Welcome to my shop! I am an outstanding History teacher in an outstanding department in an outstanding school. I am Head of KS3 with also over 10 years experience of teaching KS4 and KS5 History. I currently teach the new Edexcel 9-1 GCSE so a lot of my work is focused towards this content to prepare students for their assessments. I pride myself on planning fun and exciting lessons and creating resources, and it makes sense to share these and hopefully save you some time. Have a look!
