A different venue to our usual one! At a previous Network meeting, John Putley, Hub Facilities Manager, very kindly offered to host one of our future gatherings at the new Gloucestershire Heritage Hub, so I took him up on this straightaway! I led a HLF WWW1 school and community groups’ project back in 2014-2015 and had a lot of dealings …

‘Intent, implementation and impact: History within the broad and balanced curriculum’ (University of Gloucestershire)
Well, it was rather nice to attend a conference today and be able to just sit back and listen, rather than having to present!

Primary Humanities Network meeting (Progression and assessment in geography and history – part 2)
Since we did not have time for in-depth sharing and moderation of pupils’ work during our last meeting, it was requested that we gather again purely for this purpose.

Time for our next meeting already? Well, I wished to slot one in before SATs take over and teachers are unable to be released from schools, thus, with Easter being late and the May Bank Holiday fast approaching, the first week of Term 5 seemed to be my only chance.
