Harrow School is hosting an Ancient History Teachers’ Day, free and open to all teachers who teach or are interested in teaching Ancient History at GCSE or A-Level.

​

It will be a great way to share teaching strategies, and learn a bit more about the specification if you don’t already teach it.

Many thanks,
