Hi! I currently work in London as a Deputy Headteacher. I love all things teaching and learning! I am extremely passionate about education and find researching and creating new strategies and ideas exciting. The world of teaching and leading in England is highly stressful and it's up to all of us to look after each other's well-being...I hope my resources save you some precious time.

I recently ran a very successful British Values Day. I began the day by inviting parents/carers/governors in and delivered the attached assembly presentation to them as well as to pupils. I then gave each class a value of their own (see guidance). Classes were able to be as creative as they liked but were asked to give me one outstanding piece of display work so I could create a British Values display at the entrance of the school (see photo of display). Pupils dressed-up in their cultural clothes or wore red/blue/white and all brought in a 'gold coin donation' to give to charity.
The assembly goes through each of the British Values and their meanings. There is a song and video clip attached as well as a short quiz at the end. Promoting British Values is extremely important, Ofsted say: 'Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development and, within this, the promotion of fundamental British values, are at the heart of the school’s work.'
Powerpoint could also be used for a KS2 lesson on British Values.

This presentation on the EU referendum to be held on Thursday 23rd June 2016 can be used for an assembly or as a lesson.
Included is an 18 slide presentation, which covers:
-What the EU is.
-What a referendum is.
-For leaving the EU arguments.
-Against leaving the EU arguments.
-Activity ideas to take the presentation further.
-A quiz and answers.
With this resource, there is special writing paper that children could use for writing a debate or a for/against letter. There are also voting slips attached so that you can hold a class or whole-school vote.
I have aimed the resource at Y3-Y7 but the presentation can easily be adapted to suit younger or older years. I have previously found introducing politics to younger years, has worked well and created curiosity around the subject, especially if the pupils get to vote themselves.
My resources always take me a lot of time and effort to create so I hope that they help to save you some precious time - please do review my resources. Thank you!

Terrorism needs to be addressed from an early age so pupils understand why it is wrong and how it can ruin lives.
This is a gentle introduction into thinking about the evil of terror. There is a poem, comprehension and a scaffold for pupils to write their own poem.

An engaging tale surrounding the themes of: bullying, self-esteem and friendship. This story is a great tool for PSHE lessons, assemblies or English lessons. Pupils will follow Quinn on his adventure of self-discovery.
I have written the story to include a whole host of interesting language devices, including alliteration and repetition, which can be discussed and pupils can imitate in their own similar story.
This is a fabulous resource that can be used for so many different engaging lessons. This is Theresa May's full speech on calling a general election on 8th June. The speech is fascinating. Ask your pupils to work out which key words are repeated the most, how Theresa May refers to herself and the opposing parties or work out why an election is being called. It could also be used to pick apart May's use of grammar and vocabulary.
Good mental well-being has become harder to maintain as life becomes increasingly hectic. That's why it must be our priority to help pupils to understand their own mental well-being and know how to improve it.
This great presentation is full of ideas, starters, suggested activities and examples aimed at supporting pupils to improve and maintain a healthy mental well-being. Activities range from thinking about what makes them happy to designing their own happy place to setting goals to thinking about how helping others can lead to being a happier person.
The activities are suitable to support a 10 week programme on mental well-being, which should become a priority in every curriculum.
Any questions, please just ask.
