News, Events & MeetingsOfsted Teaching ResourceGood practice resource - Inspiring history teachers through an effective area partnership: Hampshire Secondary History Network (April 2013)History teachers in secondary schools in Hampshire are supported extremely well through the county’s secondary history network. By working together in an effective partnership structure, history advanced skills teachers (AST)s, leading teachers, subject leaders and teachers from across the local authority are engaged in actively and successfully supporting each other to help improve teaching and learning in history in secondary schools. The dissemination of best practice is a priority and the network is at the centre of this process. Subject Professional Development Materials: History (January 2011)This resource has been put together to help teachers in primary and secondary schools improve teaching and learning by reflecting on the main messages from the history report, History for all, published in March 2011.

Its well-informed and highly motivated costumed guides make excellent use of the house, its contents and a range of handling objects to enable students to participate in activities that are both enjoyable and informative." Congratulations to Education Officer Natalie Wallace and her team!

Art Exhibition
The Herts Memories website was launched in 2009 to celebrate life in Hertfordshire. It is for people of all ages and backgrounds, from teenagers to teachers, families to local historians; it's about much more than history.
This website replaces the award-winning Learning Curve, with all the same resources for teaching and learning history, but in an exciting new design and a structure that should make resources much easier to find and use.
