Hello! I’m Lindsey and I’m a History teacher. I live in East Yorkshire in a historic market town with my partner, children and my dog. I have had a passion for History since the age of 10 when I visited Burton Agnes Hall with school which sparked a fascination with History.

Following my A-Levels I gained an undergraduate degree in Education Studies and History from the University of Durham. Following on from that I gained a Masters Degree from the University of Durham in Education Studies and wrote my thesis on the education of Queen Elizabeth I. I then gained a PGCE from the University of Warwick. 

I have held a number of different roles in my 13 year teaching career as Head of History, Lead Practitioner for Humanities and Whole School Literacy Lead. I have also been an examiner for GCSE and A-Level History.

I am passionate about History and spend as much time as possible reading and researching different historical topics. I can’t wait to share my passion and knowledge with you all. 

In my spare time I love reading (mainly History books) and collecting books, I have approximately 600 books and 95% are History books and range in topics from Ancient to Modern History. I am always happy to make recommendations if people have an interest in a particular topic.

Other than reading and collecting books I enjoy watching tennis, baking, jigsaws, puzzles, craft and walking my dog.
