Gilbert Pleuger

 

Gilbert Pleuger gained an honours degree in History and Politics and Diploma in Education from Keele, with its then famed foundation year, in 1966 before teaching posts in Newcastle (Dame Allan’s School), Ipswich (Northgate Grammar School) and Bedford School where he became Head of Sixth Form Minority Subjects in 1990. He retired from teaching in 1995 and he was known to quip that he had pioneered an attention to study skills for History students because he was too stupid to teach anything else. After a series of articles in Teaching History, commencing with ‘Understanding the Work of the Historian’, February 1981, and after founding and editing a History Department journal in Bedford School, he created Sempringham to publish History Sixth, the first ever History magazine directed exclusively to A-level History students and their teachers. He subsequently edited, and contributed to, the hugely popular Good History Students’ Handbook (Sempringham, 1993) and founded the successful Sempringham Studies series of topic texts. In 1997 he wrote Undergraduate History Study: The Guide to Success and, in 2000, founded the history-ontheweb.co.uk Internet resource. This major eLearning site for AS and A2 Modern History, uncompromising over quality, was expanded into ehistory.org.uk in 2008 on the occasion of the introduction of Sempringham eLearning Online Lectures.
