The Prince's Teaching Institute has had a massive impact on our pupils’ learning at Small Heath School. I believe that the history team has risen to the challenge, with our pupils having benefited from creative teaching and outstanding learning experiences.
One particular area of strength has been the development of the worcesterjonny channel on 
YouTube. The team were well aware that many of our young people were spending a lot of time on the internet. Therefore, it became obvious that if we were going to engage with them we would have to think differently! Thinking differently led to the birth of worcesterjonny, a history channel on YouTube. The channel contains over eighty videos that cover topics taught across all the Key Stages. Worcesterjonny has had quite a lot of success; with nearly 600,000 views and well over 200 subscribers. Many pupils and teachers across Britain, Ireland and further afield are using it within their lessons. The channel caught the imagination of last year’s GCSE groups who used it for vital revision. Soon news spread about the channel on social networking 
sites across the country.
As a team we are very proud of all the extra-curricular activities that we offer to our young people, and the subject of history is very much alive at Small Heath School.
Small Heath School is a co-educational comprehensive school for 11-18 year-olds in Birmingham.
