Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Assembly, Tutor Time, Citizenship, Whole School

This is a 15-20 minute assembly about the Platinum Jubilee and includes information about the official programme for the Bank Holiday Jubilee Weekend in June 2022.

It is suitable for KS3-KS5 (Ages 11-18, Years 7-13, Grades 6-12) and includes many discussion activities that could easily be lengthened as written activities if you wanted it to last for a 60-90 minute lesson instead. It was used as a Citizenship whole school tutor time session in May.

It includes:

• What the Platinum Jubilee is and why we are celebrating it now
• What is happening on the Bank Holiday weekend
• A focus on what the Queen does and the Red Box
• A downloaded and clipped video which will never disappear with a quick biography of the Queen’s reign
• Class debate about whether the UK should have a monarchy
• How this links to the British Value of the Rule of Law
• A Platinum Jubilee school competition
• A reflection point about being respectful and safe during the nation’s celebrations
• A downloaded and clipped video which will never disappear showing pictures of the Queen’s reign
• Images that express the theme
• Links so students can watch or read about the issue further (excellent for online platforms)
• Quotes, pictures, dual coding, reference to other news stories of the week
• Ends with an online news quiz

This is a narrated PowerPoint but it can easily be changed by deleting the icon on each slide if you would prefer it not narrated. This session fits into the Citizenship and PSHE curriculum but also covers SMSC, History and Fundamental British Values. Students reacted very well to this resource and many interesting discussions came from it.
