“ What lovely news to hear in these gloomy times! This award is so well deserved. I always enjoyed and learnt so much from your history lessons, which I studied to A-Level, and can still recite - some - facts from! Your lessons gave me such valuable insight into both history and politics - as well as lots of enjoyment and laughter. Your lessons helped shape my career into writing and journalism as well as passion for politics. Some of the girls I studied A-Level History with in 2008 are still my friends today, and we still speak about our memories of history lessons at Q.E fondly and with lots of laughter. ”
