"My whole life whether it be long or short will be devoted to your service" Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022 The longest reigning British monarch of all time & a continuous symbol of stability. Thank you ma'am... 👑 Rest in Peace 🖤

Congratulations to all of our historians! 👏 We are super proud of you all!

The @Lionesses kick off the #UEFAWomensEURO2022 tonight! Learn more about the history of the women's game following this link bl.uk/womens-rights/… Amazing that after a 50 year ban in this country & just 4 years since having a fully pro league, we will see stadiums sold out!

A bit late posting this, but the beginning of Pride Month seems like a good time to make up for it! Our LGBT+ History Month Poster Competition Winners! 🏳️‍🌈 Well done all! We hope you have enjoyed your skittles 🌈 & the books that were chosen by Mrs Daniels & Miss Butler! 📚

We are excited to launch our @SchoolWeydon LGBT+ History Month poster competition! We have some amazing prizes to give out and can’t wait to see who/what you research and present to us! #LGBTHM22 #lgbthm2022 #lovehistory

Some more excellent examples from Year 9 on analysing the significance of the Munich Putsch. Was it really a failure? Well done Jemima, Georgia & Clara! #historyteacher #education #proudteacher

Good luck to all our @SchoolWeydon historians who are sitting their first papers tomorrow morning! 👑🇩🇪 Excellent work & attitude in our revision session today! You've got this!! 💪

Check out these quality pieces of work from Amelia, Freya & Ozzy on the Munich Putsch! 👀 Dual coding used to show why it happened, what happened, what the consequences were & a judgement on how successful it was! Superstars! 🌟 #historyteacher #GCSEHistory #education

Some excellent work from Year 10 who have been looking into Mary, Queen of Scots - Who was she? Why was she a threat to Elizabeth? & What could Elizabeth do with her? #historyteacher #edutwitter #GCSEHistory #proudteacher

We are particularly proud of our students focus on the individual stories in their research and the importance placed on ensuring their experiences live on. "To forget the Holocaust is to kill twice" @HMD_UK @UCL_Holocaust @HolocaustUK

Our Year 9s Holocaust Memorial projects have filled the History corridor this week as we have commemorated Holocaust Memorial Day. The thought and effort that has gone into their work is commendable. @UCL_Holocaust @HMD_UK @HolocaustUK

#HolocaustMemorialDay is a time to remember all those affected by the Holocaust and genocide and take action to create a better future. Join the nation at 7pm tonight to watch the UK Commemorative Ceremony for #HMD2022 and #LightTheDarkness at 8pm. hmd.org.uk/take-part-in-h…

To mark #RemembranceDay our students and staff came together for a two minute silence to remember those who gave their lives in service to their country, with student Maisie Crane-Gray beautifully playing The Last Post to mark the occasion #RemembranceSunday #LestWeForget

Well Done to Fran, Immie, Kashfa, Scott and Will, the winners of our #BlackHistoryMonth Research Challenge from over 70 entries across all year groups. Their challenge, to study inspirational people associated with all the subjects we teach. Thank you to everyone that took part

'They had absolutely no idea whether they would ever see me again.' Ernest Simon BEM talks about the day, on 11 January 1939, when his parents put him on the #Kindertransport to escape the Nazis. His life would never be the same again.

Our "Weydon Wall" activity was very popular during @SchoolWeydon Open Evening last week. Thank you to everyone who contributed and added a memory from the evening or something that they love/precious to them! #lovehistory
