Come join a vibrant, dynamic and extremely passionate History Department which has helped the study of History become one of the most popular and successful subjects in the school. The Application process for this Full Time post @MyStJos closes this Friday.

I don't want lower taxes. I want hospital beds. Trains that run on time. Kids who aren't too hungry to learn. Libraries in every town. Rivers that don't run with slurry. Local councils not forced into bankruptcy. Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.

@NicolaTallis @DrOwenEmmerson @kingfisherbaker @Briege_Rice I’m expecting something like this on our Normandy trip as it will be my birthday whilst we are there!

Lots of people asking about @DrOwenEmmerson Boleyn birthday cake, so here’s a close up! It was made by @kingfisherbaker & everything-including Anne-was edible! 🎂

@Longshanks1307 I’ve found various mistakes in one of the resources packs provided by the exam board on Wales under the Normans e.g mixing up individuals and their titles. Also mistakes in the videos on BBC teach as well - e.g Magnus as Hardrada’s father and not nephew.

I am heartily sick of being asked to comment on resource packs produced by exam boards that are so shoddy they can't even be bothered with the consistent spelling of names and places.

Thank God the ruling male upper classes who fought tooth and nail to stop the enfranchisement of working people and women over the course of 200 years never used violence.

“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?” “Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?” Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered. #RefugeesWelcome

@Longshanks1307 Maybe I could get you in at my school for a talk? I teach Norman England to GCSE students and it is a period I love, and I make them love it!

@JessStaff1 I tend to go wherever I'm invited. I've done talks at schools in East Anglia in the past. If any are arranged, I'll post details on here.

About to give a talk about the Norman Conquest, on the eve of the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, at Battle Abbey School - the very spot where the battle took place.

@GeographyLeahy Please could I get a copy of this too - we’ve just moved to using iPads and onenote and I’m so used to handwriting everything! This would be brilliant! Thanks so much j.staff@stjos.co.uk

Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

'I just look at the current King and Queen and think, how very dare you?!" This caller releases her frustrations to @mrjamesob about the Coronation, asserting that people only care because of 'nostalgia'.

Charles III, isn’t being crowned because of any merit, but simply because he was born into power- with his fortune of £1.8B but food banks up by 30%, millions in poverty, why do we even have to pay £100M for his coronation or a decadent & archaic monarchy @bbcdebatenight 🤴🇬🇧

As the medicine paper is fast approaching you may want a copy of this A2 medicine timeline for revision. If you would like a copy, please click on the link drive.google.com/file/d/1kOWyhA… #gcsehistory

@BearWithOneEar Yep! Still use with my lot!

It seems that someone somewhere (and maybe more than one person) is still photocopying and presumably using my Tudor Century book A level book published in 1993. Thank you, whoever you are.

@NathenAmin Is this going to be available as a recording? Or do I have to watch it live? Thanks

A nice little trip up to Manchester, where this afternoon I'm delivering a talk to a room full of a history teachers about Henry VII. You can stream the talk live (3:30pm) on YouTube at this link ➡️ youtube.com/live/9HmZtzmra…? Big up the teachers, always!

@DrOwenEmmerson @hevercastle @kateemccaffrey @Briege_Rice we should take a little history trip together!

So proud to launch our brand new exhibition on 8th February at @HeverCastle, which is entitled “Catherine & Anne: Queens, Rivals, Mothers”. It explores the complex relationship between Queen Catherine of Aragon & Queen Anne Boleyn, with some exciting, rarely-seen loans…
