This is an inspirational assembly that looks at the issue of what can we do to make a difference. Some terrific video clips and some really good stories. This can be done at any time of year, but it will almost certainly result in you getting a standing ovation! One of my best assemblies. Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic assembly that looks at how we spend our time. This can be used at any time but may be most effective at the start or at the end of the year when the students have an opportunity to reflect on their own use of time. It covers: -Where units of time came from -Why the calendar doesn’t make sense -How the calendar could be better -How people in the UK use their time -What we can learn from the regrets of people who are dying about their lives -Inspirational quotes This is a very popular and thought provoking assembly, and one of my favorites.

This assembly looks at the problem of Fake News in today’s society and the role it has played in several major world events since 2016, up to the present day (including Brexit, Trump, Wikileaks, Climate change denial etc.) The assembly covers what fake news is, the history of fake news, where it comes from, how it spreads and why it matters. It also features a quiz where the students will get the chance to see if they can spot the fake news stories out of ten unlikely sounding stories. Finally the assembly links fake news to gossip and rumours and gives tips as to how to spot fake news (both online and in the classroom). This is a fun but comprehensive assembly.

This assembly addresses the gun epidemic in the USA, by looking at: -The history of guns in the USA -The causes of the gun problem -The NRA -Trump and the Republican party And causes for optimism for the future. It was written in the aftermath of the Parkland School Shooting but is just as applicable to any mass shooting in the USA (update in light of the tragic 2022 school shooting at Robb Elementry school). This is a well presented, well research, topical and very interesting assembly that covers the gun debate in some detail.

A well planned, interesting and important assembly.

The assembly is aimed at sending the students off at the end of the school year thinking about the future. It focuses on the passing of time and the idea of growth and achievement. The students are encouraged to reflect on their time in school and their hope for the future. It finishes by encouraging the audience to think about how to measure success and what it would look like for them. It is also suitable for the end of calendar year.

The assembly looks at the issue of injustice and how we can respond to it through the case study of Maya Angelou. It tells the story of Maya Angelou and her life as an inspiration to the students. If you like this assembly please leave a review.

I have also included a follow up activity for form tutors following the assembly to consolidate the key message. All images in this presentation are free to use under a Creative Commons Licence.

The assembly introduces the students to Red Nose Day -What it is -When it takes place -Why it started -Who it is helping -How the students can help The assembly can be updated for Sports Relief or for Children in need. If you like this assembly please leave a review.

This lesson is to help the students to plan their revision by doing a twist on the idea of a post mortem. While a post mortem is after the event, the pre-mortem does the same thing but before the event (or exam). So instead of thinking about why they failed, they will think about why they might fail and try to put into place a plan to prevent that happening! A useful and thought provoking lesson.

This lesson looks at the dangers of smoking through a variety of activities. The lesson includes: -Powerful anti-smoking ads -What cigarettes contain -What tobacco does to your body -How to avoid getting addicted The lesson can be extended to two or three lessons by getting the students to make an anti-smoking poster or presentation.

This well resourced and well explained assembly looks at the history of fire works night, how it is celebrated today and why we celebrate it today. It also looks at the firework code, the dangers of fireworks and how be considerate and how to stay safe. It also has a true story to bring home the point that fireworks are not toys. I have included teachers notes to help to explain the slides. If you like this assembly please leave a review.

This was a survey I created when completing my NPQSL. I made it from an amalgamation of serveal other surveys I had seen used at other schools. It proved to be a useful and a powerful tool. I used it to gather information about how we could improve our transition procedures, but it could easily be adapted to find out what the students think of their school. A fantastic aid to pupils voice in school.
