    Secondary History Leadership Conference 2026

     

    The conference is designed to support history leaders in addressing current school priorities, including strengthening curriculum coherence, improving GCSE outcomes, tackling educational disadvantage, and leading with confidence in the context of Ofsted changes, curriculum reform, and increasing complexity of need. 

    Tailored specifically to history leadership in 2026, the programme balances disciplinary thinking, evidence informed practice, and practical leadership action. 

    A particular focus will be placed on improving GCSE outcomes through the application of cognitive science, high quality texts, collaborative problem solving, and effective KS3–KS4 curriculum design. 

    Keynote speaker:

    Dale Banham, Honorary Fellow of the Historical Association and the Schools History Project

    From making it stick to making an argument – How can recent research findings from cognitive science be used by history teachers to improve the outcomes of all students at GCSE?  

    This keynote presentation will outline a sequence of strategies that help students remember information and then shape it into effective explanations and arguments. It will draw on key findings from cognitive science and successful writing strategies from classroom-based action research.  

    The day will also provide valuable opportunities for local collaboration, making this a worthwhile investment in subject leadership capacity and improved outcomes for pupils.
