HA Webinar: Teaching an inclusive primary history curriculum in an urban white working-class setting
Teaching inclusive primary history
Event Type: CPD
Takes Place: 9th June 2026
Time: 4pm - 5pm
Venue: Zoom
Description: This practical webinar will showcase how the history curriculum at Ryhope Junior School has been carefully shaped to mirror its locality's post-industrial identity while also offering its pupils a window on diverse histories beyond their own community. It will also show how innovative use of technology has enabled the successful adaption of resources to make knowledge accessible to the full ability range. Ryhope Junior School was awarded the Historical Association Quality Mark for primary history in 2024. It serves a largely white working-class area on the outskirts of Sunderland in Northeast England with high levels of deprivation. There will be an opportunity to pose questions to Alastair Storey, the school’s history subject leader.
