It’s been a big week. I’ve returned to work after maternity leave & it’s been such a joy to reconnect with colleagues across Dixons Academies Trust, especially the brilliant CfG team.

@fstewarthistory.bsky.social & I have also received a preview of our soon to be published book. Exciting times!

This looks incredible - can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!

I read the curriculum review's conceptual position paper, and, well, inject it into my veins.

English education is in good hands.

We know there is so much creativity in the history teaching world, but it is not always easy to have the time to search for sources, or find the latest interpretations. PATHfinders aims to bring a raft of fascinating materials to your inbox each half term to inspire your planning /2

Thank you Louise ☺️

Thank you Emmy 💛

Thank you Ed!

Thanks Alex! Really chuffed ☺️

Really excited by this new part of the #CurriculumPATHS project. We are collaborating with various bodies to share sources and interpretations to inspire #historyteacher s in their planning for school. Our first set is a collab with the BL looking at Britain and India 1600-1947. Please share!

Delighted to have received this in the post today! Highly recommend the MA in Race, Education and Decolonial Thought to anyone working in education. From new perspectives to understanding the theories behind things I never had a name for, this is v high up on my list of most valuable experiences.

Pure joy today from our anti-racism group’s session on identity and lived experience 💛

Thank you Amjad, I appreciate you!

I’m sorry.
Those of us who know, know that we almost have to work 10 times harder to be perceived to be good enough and yet people will still think we’re the token hire.

Keeping shining and sharing your brilliance! ✨

Thank you, Yamina. Here’s hoping that one day we’ll all be able to be proud of our achievements in peace!

It really is perpetually disappointing that no matter your experience, your passion, or the work that you do, as a Black woman it is inconceivable to people right across the political spectrum that you could be anything other than a tokenistic appointment.
