@TLatTMCS Id just start looking for another school if that was policy

[D Rice @MrRiceHistory]

@McGuinnDMA @mrfitzhist Correct. Edexcel dont allow comments on origin yet place it as a fundamental skill in textbooks for example when looking at source utility but not allowing it for interpretations where it can fundamentally determine viewpoints of.authors

[D Rice @MrRiceHistory]

@mrfitzhist @McGuinnDMA It goes far beyond preparation with these concepts. The exam.board dont want us training pupils in a formula to answer and then go against their own guidelines when marking the questions. With no focus on the fundamental historical skills a good Historian needs.

This lovely 50 mark treat is greeting my Y11 on this wet and windy morning

Hammering the knowledge before we move onto source questions

It’s exam analysis meetings for us this week, some of the most important conversations of the year. Always blown away by just how much knowledge of students our teachers have! #heroteachers #knowyourstudents

@TLatTMCS @MrThorntonTeach @PearsonEdexcel @SCaveHums @JessKStevens Living outside of reality. Too much content compounded by inaccessible question styles.

Some of the great WW1 projects created by year 8 over the Easter Holidays. Such great work has really inspired me to give more opportunities for students to work on similar projects.

A fantastic example of revision for an assesment from year 7 Camille. She should come in and teach year 11 something about preparation. #tmcshistory #tmcs #secondarschool #education #historyteacher #dedication #revision
