Everyone home safe and sound! Thank you to all students, staff and parents for supporting this trip 😊

And we’re off once more! 10 minutes later than planned but hoping to ‘make the time up in the air’. (I think there’s a Lee Evans joke in there somewhere!) #KingsMacBerlin22

Breakfast pretzels have been eaten and sat in the airport! So far, we are running on time. We will be arriving in to T3. Parents, please be ready to collect students at 1pm. We will continue to update you via here and by students sending you messages too! #KingsMacBerlin22

Day 1 of our tour with Sion starts with the iconic Reichstag! Already overheard lots of good Weimar knowledge from students #ReichstagFire #KingsMacBerlin22

[History at King's @KingsMacHistory]

Landed safely and only 15 minutes late. Let’s hope it’s swift through passport control and onto meet Herrn, our coach driver!

‘Don’t let anyone tell you that this is just for October, or just go interest to Black and Brown people’... ‘We all need a history that makes sense of who we are’ ‘BHM shouldn’t be seen as a prison but an amplifier, it supercharges out discussions’ @DavidOlusoga #BHM #BHM2022

[History at King's @KingsMacHistory]

Over 80 students came to watch @DavidOlusoga lecture on Black British History this Monday #BHM #BHM2022 ‘History has the capacity to tell us that we’re all part of a bigger story, if it misses parts out, it loses its power to bind us together’

#SchoolsConference and also Dr. Ross quoting Shakespeare ‘the state of which so many had the managing’... These comments all point to a perfect storm of circumstance rather than purposely divisive actions by any individual (2/2)

[History at King's @KingsMacHistory]

#SchoolsConference some interesting threads between the speakers! Dr John Watts posing the idea that York was ‘pressed into action by the political system’ and @rachel_delman that events ‘forced her [Margaret] to take on a more political role’ (1/2)

[History at King's @KingsMacHistory]

Y12 students thoroughly enjoying the #SchoolsConference with great insights from Dr. John Watts, Dr. James Ross and @rachel_delman so far!
