A note from the author: I have used these resources with my form group from Year 7 - 9 to ensure that not only do I develop a strong pastoral grounding with the students, but also that I build a professional relationship with my form. Some of the resources will need to be tailored / adapted to the needs of your form and your school pastoral policies, however they are a great template to work from. Included here are a range of different resources. The main ideas are embedded within the two ‘Twilight’ documents as this is from a session I ran on our Pastoral role as form teachers. Posters / Displays: - Multiple Intelligence Posters - to instil a sense of acceptance of difference - A Fingerprint Tree (will need an ink pad) where all students add their fingerprint as a leaf to the tree - to create a bond of loyalty - Quotes of the Week - to inspire students - Code of Conduct examples - to help students understand expectations of the school, staff and themselves. - Roles/Responsibilities Lists with ideas to get the whole form involved. Activities Ideas: - A range of ideas in the ‘Twilight’ documents - Teach a Skill / Run an Activity Forms - student led in form time - Quiz on school rules and expectations (obviously will need to be adapted) - Settling in Meetings / Interview Question Sheets - Caption Competitions - Desert Island Disks Certificates (students talk about and present extracts of two songs that are important for them) - Puns and Riddles to keep their mind fresh. Please do comment on my resources so that I can continue to update and expand them. If you need any more information/clarification please comment and I will update my resources ASAP!

A note from the author: I use this scheme of work my Drama class at a Special School and proved very popular and great for allowing the students to advance in their P levels. The students loved the characters, creativity and the sense of adventure. Will obviously need to be adapted for individual needs of the students.

A note from the author: Included here are a selection of resources for being a Head of House. These are mainly social interaction activities, notice board images (relating to my house - the colour purple, the house sigil of a unicorn and named after a famous writer), and ideas for house activities. Included are 31 resources, from power points delivered in house assemblies, ideas for house activities (pictionary, quizzes go down well).
