That History Bloke Homepage

"Simply the best visitor we have ever had into school. Richard's enthusiasm is infectious, and the kids loved every minute of his visit. I cannot recommend him highly enough! Please come back!" Helen, Gateshead Teacher
"Who knew Gateshead even HAD a Great Fire? We've got a whole term's work out of this. Thanks, Richard!" - Gateshead teacher
"The children are still talking about their visit to the Quayside with Richard, even months afterwards! The first thing we book every year..." - Newcastle Headteacher.
"It is so rare to find a history expert that is also a trained teacher. Richard relates so well to the kids. It's so hands on, it hardly feels like they're learning!" - Mrs Clerk, Gateshead Teacher
"The children were really buzzing... Even the 'reluctant - writers' have produced some super pieces of descriptive writing due to the inspiration provided by our afternoon. I couldn't recommend Richard more highly!"

- Ali, Gateshead Teacher

COVID19 UPDATE:

Following the announcement that schools will close indefinitely on Friday 18th March 2020, That History Bloke would like to take this opportunity to wish all pupils, teaching and non-teaching staff and their families a safe and healthy time at home.

If your school has a booking with me for later in the school year, rest assured that it will remain in my diary as a confirmed booking. I will be in touch with individual schools regarding their sessions once we have a firmer idea on a probable date for returning to school.

Schools that miss sessions because of closure due to CoronaVirus will not be held to That History Bloke's Cancellation Policy.

If schools are kept closed until the summer holidays, all bookings that have been made for next academic year will again remain in my diary as confirmed dates.

In the unfortunate event of That History Bloke having to cease trading, I will be in touch with every school with a future booking in due course.

If you have any questions, then please contact me directly via email at contactthathistorybloke@gmail.com
