A module of work to support students who have been excluded from school; An ideal piece of work for delivery to those students who have received more than 1 FTE who will form a targeted group within your provision. The 8-9 week module can be delivered by a Mentor, Tutor, LSA or more specialist teacher both in 1-1 sessions or with targeted groups of students. It could also be delivered through a Life Skills or PSHE Programme - I originally wrote the module for delivery by PSHE teachers in a KS3 PRU. The key focus for the module is: Looking at an ideal future Locus of control Appropriate decision making Stop, Think, Go How to handle stress

I wrote this document/template when I was successful in securing my final Headship before retirement; In addition to key school documents like the SDP/SEF/Raise Online Data etc, It proved a very useful ally when I was exploring all aspects of my new school. Once I had discovered an item on the list I would check it off and identify where I saw it or where it could be found. This is not an Ofsted related document but a personal template that I found very useful.

Are you a new Head looking to identify key priorities for improvement? If so, you may find this real life exemplar of an Action Planning Document very useful; designed in a manner that has both clarity and coherence. After securing a Headship in a school requiring improvement and having made numerous visits to my new school (and after reading appropriate documentation and data) I decided to write the template identified in this resource. The layout helped me to formulate key action points in a clear and coherent manner; it also proved to be a useful document for my colleagues in SLT, from which we were able to identify key points for moving forward; the document fed into the School Development Plan and SEF and helped us to focus on key priorities.

With the new RSHE guidance being implemented from this month, I believe that this resource provides an ideal starting point when focusing on positive loving relationships, the family and an introduction to Sex Education for Key Stage 4. The KS3 resource initially focuses on the importance of friends and family and a wider look at relationships, whilst the KS4 resource also focuses on relationships, but with a closer look at boy/girl relationships, sexual responsibilty and love. The resource contains all learning materials that allow for it to be implemented into any programme immediately.

A very useful template for collating information on new students to your provision. This can be used by staff supporting the induction of new students or indeed by admin staff who support the collation of information on new students - Once completed this is a useful document to share with key staff who work with the student.

Do you have an induction process for a new student? If so, this resource will help your colleagues get to know them a little better, especially useful in AP where new students may be a little nervous about sharing information; this mini booklet asks some gentle questions to help the colleague inducting the student to collate useful information and encourage discussion.

A range of Support/Worskheets for any KS3 and KS4 Relationships and Sex Education Modules that align with new Government guidance. Each of the resources are linked to the modules for RSE I have written, however I have removed some of the work/support sheets from them and added them to this bundle, as many schools will already have their schemes of work in place for this subject. Pick and choose from a helpful range of RSE resources to suit your needs in the classroom.

A 6-7 week Year 10/11 Sex Education Module that has been written with a focus on Christian ethos that links to positive relationships, love and marriage.

The main focus of the module is as follows: 1.Relationships, family and friends 2. Teenage expectations 3. What is Love? 4. Getting Married 5. Sexual Responsibility 6. The right to say no

Are you an aspiring Head of Department or looking to move into Middle Leadership, if so please read on…this resource is an actual letter for a theoretical role. Based on the success of my Exemplar Deputy Head/Head letter, I have written a letter for aspiring MIddle Leaders. The one side of A4 letter provides an exemplar letter for such a role; it provides all the buzz words and sentences from which you can develop your own narrative and it provides a structure to your letter that will make it stand out from the crowd.

Are you interviewing for Pastoral Posts within your school or beyond? This grid of questions identifies key areas of focus for the role and desired responses from your candidates - an ideal companion for non teaching pastoral posts, or indeed those of a more senior nature.

An Extensive Questionnaire (22 Questions) that can be used for self evaluation within the LSA/TA Support teams or as part of wider school/staff evaluation that informs the school development plan or gives feedback to Senior/Middle Leadership.

Are you looking to interview for your new Senior Leaders or Assistant Heads and Deputies? If so, this resource will provide a range of tasks that can be administered for these interviews and give you a range of feedback to help you choose the best candidate for the role. I have used each of these tasks for SLT interviews in Special Education and they had proved invaluable. As a bonus I have also added a wide ranging number of interview questions that I feel sure you will find useful.

Are you looking to review job descriptions or to re-define the role of your Tutor Teams? This resource identifies in full what are considered the key roles for the Form Tutor on a day-to day basis. This resource can be used by member of SLT to reinforce, or indeed re-invent the expectations for form tutors in your establishment. I originally wrote this for my school as the Tutor Period was re-introduced and it identified the guidance as to the expectations for the new role.

Any colleague joining a new school/Educational Provision, needs to have access to the best support from colleagues within the first few weeks and beyond. This will often take place via line management structures/coaching systems and other monitoring mechanisms. This simple template which I designed for use in my Special Needs Provision(PRU) can be used alongside such systems and by Senior Managers and by colleagues themselves, to track early priorities during the induction process.

This resource consists of a presentation that I wrote and delivered on Differentiation for staff training. The slides explain clearly what differentiation is, how it links to effective learning for all students and the keys ways to differentiate in the classroom. The presentation can be paused at regular intervals so that staff can discuss the points raised. It formed part of a whole morning training session and so what would be required after the delivery of the Power Point, is an opportunity for colleagues to explore the process of differentiation/ideas in their subject or departmental teams.

A 14 page booklet that identifies a plethora of mini games and activities that can be played by students of all ages. The games/challenges are very simple to set up and use many items that are at hand in a classroom. I have used the ideas presented in this book both as a wet weather PE resource and for use at lunch and break times, in primary, secondary and in alternative provision. Challenge the students and have fun!!
