This site is authored and maintained by Dan Moorhouse, Head of History and Year 11 at Laisterdyke High School, Bradford. 

I have been teaching for four years, my qualifications include a PGCE in Secondary History from Trinity and all Saints College, Leeds and a BA (Hons) in History and Politics from De Montfort University, Leicester. My main areas of Historical interest are the Russian Revolution and the History of Tsarist Russia.

Prior to becoming Head of Year I was lead coordinator of the Gifted and talented strategy for a cluster of schools in Bradford.

About the site

This site has been set up to help History students with their revision during GCSE and to enable easier access to the curriculum in Key Stage 3. Schools History aims to provide students with a range of  resources, background information and historical links relevant to their own studies. The site intends to offer research and revision tasks for Key Stages 3 and 4 and is an ever growing web resource for students and teachers of history alike. if there's something that you'd like to see added to the site, e-mail me and I'll add a section.

The site forms part of the 'Teaching History Online' group and the ATW.
