The Schools History Project

The SHP provide excellent Inset courses throughout the year and host an annual weekend conference. The Conference is arguably the single best source of CPD available for history teachers. Delegates can attend 5 workshops, with a plethora of choices available in terms of content, access keynote speeches, highly relevant plenary and introductory sessions along with finding out about all of the most recent educational and publishing developments. Details of the annual conference, held over the course of the first full weekend in July each year, can be found on the SHP website at http://www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/shp/Conference/index.htm and details of INSET sessions run at other times in the year are available from this page http://www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/shp/INSET/index.htm.
