The Faculty of History aims to provide teachers and advisors with access to free relevant subject specific opportunities and resources.
Further details about our free skills workshops (let us teach a class for you) and our programme of professional development opportunities are detailed below.
We hugely value the role that teachers and advisors play in encouraging students to consider their options and make informed decisions about their future. For further information about the History Faculty’s outreach work, or if you have any questions about outreach, enrichment or admissions please contact outreach@history.ox.ac.uk.
Please also visit www.ox.ac.uk/teachers for further details on how the university works with teachers.
Our online teacher workshops are designed to support the development of practical history skills and provide advice on making a competitive application to selective universities such as Oxford.
We offer history skills workshops to state secondary schools, sixth form and FE colleges across the UK. History skills workshops are delivered online at a time to suit your class and last about an hour.
History Admissions Test Mark Scheme Explained for teachers
A resource for teachers and advisors to support the marking of practice papers and for candidates sitting the HAT to help understand what skills the test is assessing.
We welcome enquiries from teachers who would like to invite a historian to speak at their school. We are particularly keen to work with state primary schools, secondary schools, further education colleges or community groups in and around Oxford.
The Faculty of History delivered a series of free online study sessions for teachers in early 2022 exploring the latest historical research being undertaken in the Modern, Early Modern and Medieval periods.
