"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:

Currently, visits to the Quayside such as the Great Fire of Gateshead and Newcastle are not available due to the current closure of venues that we would attend as part of the trip. I am offering in-school sessions for the schools that had booked these visits instead.

My usual in-school workshops are going ahead, as planned. In order to help schools to understand the measures that I am taking to limit risk of infection during sessions, my Covid-19 Hazard ID document is available on request. Simply email me at contactthathistorybloke@gmail.com if you would like an up-to-date copy.
