Feel jaded about teaching the National Curriculum?

Need to develop more creativity within History lessons?

Would like to harness learning styles and emotional literacy?

Welcome to the courses page on our website. Whether you are interested in extending your own knowledge, or looking for ideas to brighten a history lesson, we have something to suit you.  Using a range of presentations and practical workshops, teachers build a portfolio of activities that can be used in the classroom whilst extending historical knowledge.  The knowledge based courses fall into two types. One type focuses on a historical theme, period or person whilst the other looks at aspects of how to teach history.  The courses for this year and next are given below.  Past courses are available as INSET.

A Creative History Course in Action!

We aim to show creative and fun ways of learning about our past!

What attendees have said about previous courses

Some folk like to know what other people thought of the courses before booking.  ‘Fun’, ‘inspiring’, ‘learnt without realising it’, ‘practical’, ‘accessible for the non-specialist’, ‘couldn’t believe the time went so fast’, ‘would love to see you teach’ are just some of the comments. To date, everyone on the courses have said they would recommend them to others.

Please email us to request more information about the courses. We will be happy to help!
