Currently work in the Youth Justice Service developing programmes of intervention for young people in the service.
Past experience working as a teacher of Art and Graphics in a young offenders institute, teacher in alternative provision education specialising in SEMH & SEND, and mainstream secondary teacher of Design Technology and Art & Design.
I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.

This resource is part of a larger scale programme I have created called COPE.
The full COPE programme has the potential to claim for 5 AQA accreditations, or there is the option to complete any of the 5 AQA accreditations individually.
AQA 75865 covers: definitions of passive, aggressive, assertive and passive aggressive behaviours, differences between aggressive and assertive behaviours, considering examples when different types of behaviour have been used and alternative ways that they could have behaved, the impacts of aggressive behaviour, an assertiveness test (to see if you are mostly passive aggressive, assertive, aggressive or passive).
Please note: the full COPE programme, plus all of the other 4 AQAs linked to the full programme, will be available to buy separately on here.
I created this programme for use with young people in contact with the Youth Justice Service, however I previously taught in mainstream secondary and alternative provisions and definitely feel this would be perfect for any setting.

This is a resource I have created for Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Week 2024
It includes:
Details about ASB week
Types of anti-social behaviour
Definition of ASB
What co-ops are and why they are good for communities
Examples of co-ops
Case study: The Co-Op - and what they do for the community etc.
The 5 R’s of recycling
Respecting local communities - vandalism, graffiti, and how to prevent them
Task to identify was in which people have disrespected local communities
Using Leeds as an example - photos to show art throughout the city, encourage to consider why it helps to make the community brighter and prevent vandalism etc.
This was created for use with the Youth Justice Service but would work in any educational setting
You could also modify the ASB week bits to make it relevant all year

Raising Narratives
This upload is a task that can be run in different group or 1:1 sessions.
'Did you know that fashion trends are a cycle and often repeat themselves a few decades later?
You will be shown some fashion trends that we still see today, can you guess if they originated in black culture?
Black culture doesn’t always stem from a country of black origin; due to colonisation, slavery and immigration black culture has travelled across the world.’
PowerPoint provides a series of fashion trends and encourages young people to identify whether or not they originated from black culture.
A sheet is provided to print and answer onto.
Answers and information are given for each, plus additional images showing where each trend originated from
The trends in the quiz are:
Hoop earrings
The mullet
Logomania
Heavy eyeliner
Snap backs
Acrylic nails
Trainer culture
Dr Martens
Braids
Black History Month 2024
Raising Narratives
This upload is a task that can be run in different group or 1:1 sessions.
Full Room – perfect for group situations
Print out the labels of AGREE, DISAGREE and DON’T KNOW/MAYBE
Stick them across the room (ideally agree and disagree on either side and don’t know in the middle)
Read out each statement and ask the class/group to stand where they feel they would respond to each statement
You can then pick individuals to ask why they have chosen to stand there/why they think that
Try to encourage free thinking rather than following their friends!
Smaller Group – perfect for small groups or 1:1 sessions
Print out the labels of AGREE, DISAGREE and DON’T KNOW/MAYBE
Print out all of the statements
Lay the labels of agree/disagree/don’t know out across the table
Ask the young people to work together or to do the task individually and to place each statement next to the appropriate answer to show how they feel about it
You can then ask why certain statements have been placed in certain places
These can help to encourage deeper thinking and to challenge thoughts about the topic.
I also have a range of BHM factfiles with lots of information and quotes - see my other uploads!
