Author: Kerry Apps (Tudor Teacher)

Sometimes writer of ‘Teaching History’ articles. I have written about significance and two particular passions of mine, the witch-hunts and widening the Tudor and Stuart worlds beyond Henry VIII and the Civil War to include cross-cultural encounters. You may have heard me speak at Historical Association Secondary workshops or at SHP on these subjects. In the classroom I have carved out a successful career and am currently the Head of History at a high achieving south London boys school. As a former FSM child I am passionate about disadvantage, social mobility and increasing uptakes of history at A-Level and University. As a historian my heart lays in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and I hold a particular passion for the social histories of the era as well as English Atlantic world – a theme which I will be picking up in an MPhil in 2021.
