Schools have an important part to play in the support system of all those in their care, and particularly in the promotion of mental well-being. Their efforts to promote the physical and mental health of the student population can positively reinforce pupils’ attainment and achievement, improving their well-being and enabling them to thrive and achieve their full potential. The focus on children’s mental health, though, serves as an important reminder to us that we must couple support for staff well-being with the same ambitions we have for our pupils. If we don’t, we will be letting down both cohorts. This ‘Staff Wellbeing & Teaching Toolkit’ provides staff with a plethora (four pages!) of online resources that support their wellbeing and work-life balance, as well as other superb online platforms that add value to pupils’ SEMH.

Help instil a cross-curricular sense of inclusivity, and question and adapt what you’re teaching so your curriculum represents the diversity seen in modern Britain in terms of gender and sexuality. If you want to change your pupils’ understanding and attitudes around gender, race, disability religion, LGBTQ+ inclusivity, you’ll need to make changes across your whole curriculum. Keeping topics about gender and sexuality confined to a small number of PSHE or RSE lessons is unlikely to have any significant effect. Use this Equality and Diversity curriculum audit tool to help you and your colleagues think about how you can embed these topics across all areas of learning.

Formal pupil leadership provides important benefits for both the pupil and the school. Prefects have the potential to influence the school environment and the behaviour of their fellow pupils by becoming advocates for positive change in the school community. It has been proven that when children actively participate in leadership in school life, and their ideas and opinions are listened to and valued, they feel respected and encouraged to make further contributions. The benefits to the school and the pupils include: Developed communication and interpersonal skills Improved academic performance for students involved Greater commitment to the school’s ethos from the wider student body Positive influences on the atmosphere and culture of the school A strengthened school spirit and sense of comradery Increased co-operation from all pupils A network of support for the pupil body. Included within the pack is everything you could possibly need to set up a Prefect System in your school. The bundle includes: Rationale Policy Code of Conduct Role Description Application Form Contract Reward System Overview Club Week Proposal Form Fundraiser Letter Reward Cards Assembly PowerPoint All resources are editable and easy to amend for your school setting.

Perseverance is a quality that we try and instil in all of our pupils in relation to way that pupils approach their learning and how they navigate their social interactions beyond the classroom. This assembly provides an excellent opportunity to present pupils with challenges and encourage perseverance. It also highlights the importance that we focus on moral perseverance: following the good path in the face of challenges. This assembly uses pencils to convey how something seemingly boring and insignificant can in fact be quite incredible if you think outside the box and have patience. It focuses on Dalton Ghetti’s carvings made of pencils and includes the parable about the Pencil maker to illustrate to pupils how to succeed in school.

Communication in the present age goes far beyond typing long text messages. Who knew that one could have a meaningful conversation without any words? A glance at social media feeds or the text messages on chat groups show a number of smiley faces, flying hearts, hugs, laugh out loud. These little naughty digital faces have become popular and inseparable part of our daily communication. They come to our rescue when words fall short; through irony or humour they help in conveying our emotions in a unique way. Since it’s the 21st century and all, there are countless emoji at our fingertips to mark this time of year. This assembly is all about the history of emoji’s and the power they hold to help us better communicate in the 21st Century online world. Admittingly, many of us - children and adults alike - have grown to rely upon social media and messaging platforms to communicate with others. This assembly equips pupils with the tools to better manage their online communications, how best to use emojis in a safe and control manner, and notice moments when it is probably wise to just talk to someone in person! The assembly lasts between 15 - 20 minutes, including a short ‘Guess the Movie’ game towards the end. The assembly is very easy to follow and is also editable. Enjoy! :-)
