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.

The Drive programme is designed for use with young people to help challenge their existing preconceptions around safety and driving. It develops an understanding of The Highway Code, the steps involved in getting a full licence, and the law involved with driving and motor vehicles. It also covers the impacts that alcohol and other substances can have on driving, penalties that can be enforced and the impacts and consequences of car crime on victims and offenders.
The full Drive programme has the potential to claim for 3 AQA accreditations, or there is the option to complete any of the 3 AQA accreditations individually.
AQA 72734 covers: steps needed to obtain a full UK driving licence, legal requirements needed to drive a motor vehicle on the road, ways in which drink and drugs can affect your ability to drive safely and reasons why there are laws related to driving.
AQA 111105 covers: types of car related crime, reasons why people get involved in car crime, legal requirements to safely drive a motor vehicle on the road, ways to keep yourself and others safe when travelling in a vehicle, effects of car crime on victims, the importance of a valid driving licence, the importance of valid insurance, facts about insurance cover, aggravated vehicle taking without owner consent, legal consequences of aggravated vehicle taking without owner consent, types of car crime and the impacts on others and scenarios involving car crime, plus the direct and indirect impacts for those involved.
AQA 112723 covers: benefits of learning to drive, the penalty for driving without a licence, consequences of careless driving, road fatalities statistics, types of dangerous driving, prison sentences for dangerous driving, including death by dangerous driving and considerations you should take before driving.
This resource is part of a larger scale programme I have created called PROTECT.
The full Protect 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 119626 covers: linking emotions to events, stressful situations and how to manage them, ways to improve self-confidence, bullying, passive, aggressive and assertive attitudes, peer pressure, physical and mental illness and the differences between the two, wellbeing activities to support emotional wellbeing.
Please note: the full Protect 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 bundle contains the full PowerPoint needed with corresponding worksheets.
It also includes a section on ANTS - Automatic Negative Thoughts - which can also be purchased separately on my page.

I am also creating a bundle of activities for BHM as well.
A very simple key words match-up activity based on Op Art. Perfect for a starter activity, or even to use at the end of a lesson to check learning has taken place.
NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design command words display / poster
I designed this to display on my wall to help learners with the command words commonly used, to ensure they successfully meet the assessment criteria
Also relevant for GCSE Art & Design - happy to edit the document, please just message me!
A set of worksheets relating to different graphic designers
Each one encourages the learner to consider the designer and the reasons behind the given example, with reference made to the visual elements of design
Work well with the NCFE Creative qualifications, but would also work as a homework task for mainstream KS3 / KS4 Art & Design based subjects
A learner friendly peer feedback slip designed for use in an Art & Design lesson (with a project focused around Robots, however the design is very neutral and suitable for a variety of subject areas!)
A great tool for formative assessment and a way to encourage learners to work together and respect each other (British Values).
This resource contains:
Unit booklet - Unit 02 of the NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Art & Design (Complete a final art and design project)
Title page
& all mentioned resources needed for the completion of the unit
I designed this for young offenders that I teach to provide them with a structured way to enter designs to the Koestler Awards.
The format of the booklet is highly praised by EQA visits
Please do contact me if you have any questions.
I created these slips for learners on my course to demonstrate how they have embedded literacy and/or numeracy into their graphic design
This is a big push within young offender learning and it helps the learners to understand the relevance of core subjects within pathways and the real world
Happy to edit the PDF for other subject areas - please just contact me!
A poster I designed to support learners on the NCFE qualifications and to help them understand the expectations within different learning objectives and assessment criteria.
I have also uploaded a Music Technology and Graphic Design version.
I created a huge number of Artist research factsheets during my PGCE. The information for these was all found on the internet (please note I have not reworded any, merely copied and pasted). The idea behind the factsheets was to have a bank of resources for reference, both for myself and for students.
I have printed all of these out and have them in separate folders (relating to style of art/design). I have made great use of them during my time teaching in a young offenders institute, and the learners like to select their own designers for inspiration to develop their ideas.
This bundle contains: Graphic Designers
I also will be uploading:
Photographers, Installation Artists, 3D Artists, Street / Graffiti Artists, Conceptual Artists, Illustrators, Traditional and Modern Fine Artists and Textiles based Artists.
Feel free to contact me with any questions
