A six lesson scheme of work split into two parts and presented in editable Word document booklet formats. The two parts of this scheme are:
Managing Money (to be taught first)
Financial Risk (to be taught second)
These lessons last approximately an hour each (6 hours total) with teacher input, but can also be self-taught using the booklet. This is ideal for working from home during school closures or exclusions. Also great for cover work.
Included here are two mini-schemes and an extended writing lesson on social media. The two schemes are:
Social Media and Smartphones (to be taught first)
Social Media and Self-Image (to be taught second)
Extended writing lesson (to be delivered to consolidate learning)
There are seven lessons in total.
These schemes are designed for KS3/lower KS4 and are presented in booklet form to allow for home-learning or self-led study if necessary.
These schemes are fully adaptable.
A short scheme of work on puberty, aimed at KS3. This can also be completed as home learning as the booklet is designed to work with or without teacher input (although teacher input is always best!). This 19-page booklet focuses primarily on biology and brain chemistry and spans two lessons, which should be around an hour long each.
A short scheme of work on pregnancy and reproductive health, aimed at KS3 but able to be self-led at home as the booklet is designed to work both with and without teacher input. Fully adaptable.

A series of double-sided worksheets on key events in the news from late 2022 to early 2023. These sheets are great as starter activities or for form time. Each of these articles links to a news website and asks about the British Values. These are also good for comprehension.
Here are 5 lessons on the Industrial Revolution designed for Year 8 to be used when working from home. These word documents contain all the information required to complete the tasks therein and so these are perfect to be set on Show My Homework as online learning.
