Meditation and mindfulness are central metacognitive skills: since metacognition is the personal reflection and exploration of thought and learning - what could be more direct that learning to carefully observe the operations of the mind through introspection? We view meditation as the ultimate form of ‘Deep Metacognition’.
Our ‘Metacognitive Meditation Pack’ focuses on secular (non-religious) meditation techniques; the pack includes everything you need to bring meditation to your school and, unlike other meditation teaching resources, ours is focused on how meditation can enhance concentration, thought-regulation and learning.
The download includes six resources:
An Introduction to Meditation
Meditation & Metacognition: How Meditation Can Boost Learning
Using Meditation to Train Concentration
Meditation & Gratitude: Improving Attitudes, Energy-Levels & Motivation
Meditation Instructions (A Multi-Use Tool With Instructions for Six Different Types of Meditation)
The Whole-School Meditation Poster Collection (Contains Ten Posters!)
It is a useful tool not just for boosting metacognitive and learning power but also for enhancing your school’s PSHE and SMSC provisions.
We offer a range of whole-school metacognition resources that aim to enhance metacognitive skills and strategies in students aged 11-16.
You can download individual resources or buy our ‘Whole School Metacognition Toolkits’ that make establishing a whole-school metacognition initiative easy.
Our resources specialise in:
Boosting Learning-Power
Teaching Metacognitive Skills & Strategies
Increasing Metacognitive Power (Intelligence, Memory etc.)

This is a large collection of D.I.R.T. (Dedicated Improvement & Reflection Time) worksheets are perfect for encouraging deep metacognitive reflection and master broader metacognitive strategies. These worksheets encourage students to:
Reflect on their progress
Establish clear targets for improvement
Create dialogue with their teachers
This collection features ten different DIRT worksheet formats; perhaps most notable are the four dedicated to metacognitive improvement and reflection [MIRT anyone?]. The four topics covered in these metacognitive reflection worksheets are:
Making The Most of my Time
A Letter to Myself
My Strengths & Weaknesses as a Learner
Progress Check
The pack also includes our famous A3 DIRT Worksheet and some special Christmas DIRT worksheets for when the festive season comes around!
All files are in .doc or .pdf format.

This resource uses A3 Debate Worksheets to foster discussions about learning and metacognition amongst small groups of students. The intention is that students are in groups of 3-5 and that the debate worksheets circulate around the room, with groups rotating the worksheets every five minutes, so that different groups can discuss them and add ideas.
It covers five topics, each contains eleven debate worksheets. Each topic comprises a learning session, though the resources can be used as shorter learning activities. The five topics discussed are:
Thinking Deeply About The Value of Education
Thinking Deeply About Thought
Thinking Deeply About Memory
Thinking Deeply About Concentration
Thinking Deeply About Independent Learning
A short instructional PowerPoint is also included so as to guide the learning sessions.

This PowerPoint included 101 debate prompts. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly. Each prompt is designed to trigger reflection on a metacognition or learning-power issue, examples include:
“A health body leads to a healthy mind”
“It is possible to know too much” and
“Everyone is born with an equal capacity for success in school.”
Debates take an ‘agree or disagree’ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear.
This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include:
“What is wrong with the other position in your view?”,
“Why did you choose to stand where you’re standing?”,
“Why do you think people disagree so much about this question?”
It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move.
This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson.
Thank you for looking at our resources!
This complete set of ten assemblies is designed to introduce metacognition and learning-power to students aged 11-16. The topics covered are:
Introduction to Metacognition
How to Improve Concentration
Increasing Memory & Learning
Being Inquisitive & Developing Questioning Skills
Healthy Body, Healthy Emotions, Healthy Mind
Critical Thinking & Higher-Order Thinking Skills
The Benefits of Meditation
The Value of Education
Increasing Energy & Motivation
How to Revise
The assemblies stick to the same format: for this reason it is best not to use them in series but, instead, use them over the course of a school year or even multiple years. The format is flexible and includes a wide range of activities: it is designed to be adaptable to different groups.

This is one of a series of lessons designed for AQA GCSE Hinduism, though it is also suitable for KS3 students studying Hindu festivals.
The download contains two lesson options:
A video and documentary based approach based around a (rather beautiful, if I do say so myself) A3 Worksheet. [Includes PPT, Worksheet and Lesson Plan]
An ICT Suite ‘Research, Present & Quiz’ approach, which includes integrated peer-assessment. [Includes PPT and Worksheet, Lesson Plan not necessary as it’s such a straightforward approach].
The focus of this lesson is the Hindu festival specified in the title, similar lessons can be downloaded for different Hindu festivals.
Please check the videos beforehand, some of them contain strong language and I know different schools/teachers have different views about this!
This bundle contains 20 GCSE Sociology assessments in the form of practice exam sections. It is designed for the latest AQA specification.
Each of the 20 exam sections is half a full exam and takes 50 minutes for students to complete. Each of the 20 exam sections contain a standard set of questions including two 12-mark rubrics: a model answer for one of them is included for each assessment. Each of the 20 exam sections is accompanied by a mark-scheme.
In short, in this bundle you get 20 exam sections, 20 mark-schemes, and 20 model 12-mark answers.
This bundle should take care of most (if not all) of your GCSE Sociology assessment needs: students should ideally complete these 20 assessments over the 2-year course; data-collection of results allows for easy progress tracking. You may prefer to use them in the run-up to formal public exams: they are ideal for this also!
There are five assessments for each of the four main topics: Crime & Deviance, Education, Family & Social Stratification.
BONUS RESOURCES:
Assessment Feedback Worksheets x2 (A4)
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimen material already provided. The papers follow the official AQA format and look like official papers. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.
