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 is a booklet that I have created for the boys I work with in the Young Offenders Institute.
It is designed to be self-directed, but can also be used as part of classroom teaching.
This is perfect for learners studying at KS3 or 4.
The focus of the booklet is creative typography. It provides learners with tasks, information and stretch and challenge activities.
It would work well as cover work, extended homework, or even during lessons as an introduction to typography.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and feedback!
This is a resource I have created for my current setting: I work in an alternative provision for excluded young people and I have identified a large number that have difficulties with their emotion regulation
This resource would work for KS3-4
The cards can be modified to adapt to the young people you work with
I will be uploading a range of interventions / emotional literacy resources over the upcoming weeks
Feel free to message me with any questions
I have started to create my own resources for Unit 01. As I create the lessons, I will upload them individually. Once I have a full Learning Objective uploaded, I will create a bundle!
PLEASE NOTE: The Food & Nutrition resources were all designed in the 2020-21 academic year when I taught this subject. I have since left the role and have not been back and checked for any links that no longer work.
This resource is from LO3: Understand how hospitality and catering provision meets health and safety requirements
L1 - Introduction to Health & Safety Laws and Documentation
Please note: The majority of the lessons are designed with online learning in mind, due to the current circumstances. They are easily adapted however, to work when practical lessons are back up and running!
If the formatting is off when you download it, this may be due to my font choice, I apologise in advance (Century Gothic).
Any questions please ask me :)
This is a series of pages I created to support learners on the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Creative Media (Graphic Design), however the resources would be suitable for any creative subject that uses Typography.
They can be enlarged and displayed on the walls, or laminated and used as reference in learner folders / portfolios.
Please do contact me if you have any questions.
This is a series of worksheets and information sheets that I have created for the boys I work with in the Young Offenders Institute.
They are designed to be self-directed, but can also be used as part of classroom teaching.
This is perfect for learners studying Performing Arts, Drama or Art.
This set booklet is focused on a theatre set design, with the theme of street art and graffiti.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and feedback!
I will be continually adding similar resources as I produce them.
If you need editable copies please contact me: nataliesheldon86@outlook.com
A work booklet I designed for the delivery of the NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Performing Arts Unit 06 (Exploring Design Skills for Performing Arts)
I have used this booklet with young offenders and the format works well.
If you want anything modifying on the document then please do contact me.
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 Street / Graffiti Artists.
I also will be uploading:
Photographers, Graphic Designers, 3D Artists, Installation Artists, Conceptual Artists, Illustrators, Traditional and Modern Fine Artists and Textiles based Artists.

These assessment slips were developed by myself to use within a secure setting.
I have created a range of slips to suit each teacher requirement, for example: numeracy focus, literacy focus, soft skills focus and general (perfect for vocational and creative subjects)
The boxes provide a place for the learner to respond to the feedback and a signature and date box (to help monitor progress)

These are a series of worksheets and information I have collated into a full project.
The theme of the project is MASKS & IDENTITY
Within the project, there are a number of mini sections relating to different mask types. I have uploaded these individually (see below) as they are perfect for cover / homework / one off lessons. I will also upload the full project once I have added the finishing touches.
Available worksheets:
Artists - Cindy Sherman / Marcus Coates / Haus-Rucker-Co
Cultural Map
Day of the Dead
Drill Music
Festima
Filipino Dinagyang
Halloween
Music
Superheroes
Symmetry
Venetian Carnival
Each upload contains a PowerPoint and PDF. I created the resources on a MacBook and sometimes Windows PowerPoint can open the fonts and formatting slightly off, so I wanted to offer both versions! You can also edit the PowerPoint to make it suitable for the students you teach.
