Aspiration Assembly! (Primary)

This fun and original assembly aims to inspire children to be aspirational, through:

-Understanding what aspiration is and recognising why it is important;
-Finding out about successful and inspirational people who have been aspirational, gone on inspiring journeys and reached their goals (examples include Ed Sheeran, Beth Mead and Malala Yousafzai);
-Demonstrating the power of aspiration through a powerful video - followed by discussion questions;
-Looking at their own lives and considering how they can apply aspiration strategies (e.g. setting SMART targets, etc.)
-Ending with reflection and a well-linked song.

This assembly is tried and tested, and has always been really well received in the past. It is comprehensive (20 slides in total - there is enough material for a 30-40 minute assembly or two 20-minute assemblies). The slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. For example, there are references to scenarios and dilemmas that they themselves might find themselves in order to help them to make the right choices in their own lives.

No further resources are required - everything that you need to present the assembly is included.

The assembly presentation is fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guidance notes to assist the speaker just in case. Hope that you find this useful!
