Currently work in the Youth Justice Service developing programmes of intervention for young people in the service.
Past experience working as a teacher of Art and Graphics in a young offenders institute, teacher in alternative provision education specialising in SEMH & SEND, and mainstream secondary teacher of Design Technology and Art & Design.
I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.

This is lesson 1 in a KS3 (year 8) Food project I have written.
PLEASE NOTE: The Food & Nutrition resources were all designed in the 2020-21 academic year when I taught this subject. I have since left the role and have not been back and checked for any links that no longer work.
As I create the lessons, I will upload them individually. Once I have the full scheme of work uploaded, I will create a bundle!
L1 - Bacteria & Food Poisoning
Please note: The lessons are designed with online learning in mind, due to the current circumstances. They are easily adapted however, to work when practical lessons are back up and running!
If the formatting is off when you download it, this may be due to my font choice, I apologise in advance (Century Gothic).

This is a PowerPoint presentation I created for a job interview a while ago.
It is based on Perspective Drawing (one and two) and is Art & Design focused.
Feel free to ask any questions.
A very simple cover lesson I designed for KS3 classes to set as cover in D&T.
The theme of the lesson is logo designs and this self-explanatory sheet works well for non-specialist teachers.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
This is a cover lesson I set for my KS3 Year 7 class who were in the Resistant Materials stage of their curriculum.
A very simple lesson that requires computers for the best possible outcomes.
Feel free to ask any questions.
A series of displays I created for my classroom
Colour theories, Pantone and Swiss Design
I use these in my young offender Graphic Design classroom but they would work in any creative environment
This is a resource I have created for my current setting: I work in an alternative provision for excluded young people. Some of the young people struggle with changes to their routine and like to see visually what they are going to be doing during the day
This resource would work for KS3-4
This can be laminated and reused, or a new copy used each time.
The resource has relevant things for my setting, but this can easily be modified to link to individual settings - let me know if you need help with this
I will be uploading a range of interventions / emotional literacy resources over the upcoming weeks
Feel free to message me with any questions
This is a COSHH worksheet I designed for my KS4 WJEC Hospitality & Catering students.
I am also uploading all of my WJEC designed lessons for Hospitality & Catering as I get round to sorting them.

This is a worksheet I created when teaching KS3 Resistant Materials. The classes I taught were mixed ability and I have made this activity differentiatable as a result.
I delivered the activity by first discussing each piece of equipment with the class and showing them the physical object. You then have two options: cut and stick the definitions by pairing them up (used for EAL, SEN and lower ability) or by writing the definitions in the correct boxes.
This works well as a small group activity and as a competition!
Feel free to ask any questions.
These are a series of worksheets and information I have collated into a full project.
The theme of the project is MASKS & IDENTITY
Within the project, there are a number of mini sections relating to different mask types. I have uploaded these individually (see below) as they are perfect for cover / homework / one off lessons. I will also upload the full project once I have added the finishing touches.
Available worksheets:
Artists - Cindy Sherman / Marcus Coates / Haus-Rucker-Co
Cultural Map
Day of the Dead
Drill Music
Festima
Filipino Dinagyang
Halloween
Music
Superheroes
Symmetry
Venetian Carnival
Each upload contains a PowerPoint and PDF. I created the resources on a MacBook and sometimes Windows PowerPoint can open the fonts and formatting slightly off, so I wanted to offer both versions! You can also edit the PowerPoint to make it suitable for the students you teach.
Please feel free to ask any questions
A PDF containing a range of portrait photographers with examples of their work.

I will be continually adding similar resources as I produce them.

I created this resource for the delivery of the NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Art & Design (Unit 02).
The activity is very interactive, encouraging the learners to cut out the various examples of the formal elements within art and graphic design and then match them up in the boxes with the names & definitions.
There is also the answer sheet included, and this can be used as a display or laminated for reference in lessons.
I have used this resource with young offenders and it proved highly successful. It can also be used as a recap to check learner understanding.

A series of worksheets designed to encourage higher order thinking in the classroom
I currently use these with young offenders, however they would work just as well in a mainstream classroom
I designed them with a creative subject area in mind (given that I deliver Graphic Design), however they could work in other subjects as a creative and cross-curricular starter!
