⚔️ The Battle of Hastings returns… 7O 🛡️ vs 7W 🗡️ History comes alive at St Edmund Arrowsmith as Year 7 clash in an epic re-enactment! Will 7O hold the hill? Can 7W break the shield wall? Arrows flying, Saxons falling — only one class will conquer! 🏰 @SEAHistoryDept

Year 7 went full 1066 today ⚔️ Re-enacting the Battle of Hastings with some epic shield walls, dramatic 'deaths', and Harold definitely lost an eye 👁️🔥 #HistoryInAction #BattleOfHastings #Year7Legends @SEAHistoryDept

🛡️⚔️Year 7 took a step back in time today, re-enacting the Battle of Hastings (1066)! From shield walls to cavalry charges, history came alive on the school grounds. Amazing effort from our young historians! @SEAHistoryDept

@CBealesTeach Would it be possible to get a copy of these please? We’re switching some of our topic choices so any revision help would be amazing!

We gave our Year 11s this hefty Paper 2 practise booklet before half-term for them to work through. This includes 'Give Me 5' as well as practise questions and model answers. We'll hopefully be referring to this and using this to help them prepare for Wednesday's exam. 🤞🏻🤩

So proud of our school community! Many thanks to all staff, students, parents and members of the parish and community for their kindness and generosity. 😊🇺🇦

@msmarshhistory1 Hi, do you still have these available? We’re looking to make some changes to our GCSE lessons and these might be a great help!

Today’s project - trying to inspire year 10 to love Edexcel Paper 2 Anglo - Saxon Norman England 🤴🏻 two booklets with information, simple comprehension tasks, key vocab and exam practice. Happy to share to help workload. Hopefully it will work! #historyteacher #gcsehistory

We're celebrating International Women's Day 2021. During the First World War, women stepped into men’s jobs for the first time, but did the war really impact women's lives and women's rights, or was it all just 'for the duration'? #IWD2021 Learn more: bit.ly/30isIlc

Anne Frank wrote in her diary on 15th July 1944: "It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality...I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart." #HMD2021 #BeTheLight
