Here’s something simple to help commemorate Remembrance Day within Art-- wire poppy sculptures. There is a linked video to help with the forming process. Seems like a big hit in my classroom right now and will form the basis for an installation down the corridor. Perfect for KS3, or ages 11-14.

A great resource if you wanted to have a level ladder on the inside of your sketchbooks. These level descriptors can be printed on a large label to clear identify how to move up.

It’s also a tickbox, so students can identify individual criteria to help with student voice and verbal understanding.

An automated budget planning spreadsheet-- easy to use and clear! If you’re looking for an automated spreadsheet to help you organise your budget across the school year, hopefully this Excel spreadsheet is what you need. I’ve been using this tool over the course of several years and it’s helped me plan out when to order, how much I have left at any point in the year-- all excellent for saving for big ticket items (last year, it was a printing press!) I’ve formatted this to work with my school’s online ordering system (PSF), however, the columns should work for most other platforms. If you need this adapted for a particular system, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I have created an A-Level marksheet for both Components 1 & 2 that is fully automated, including creating an overall mark. The grade boundaries are the 2022 AQA ones, but I am more than happy to adapt the marksheet for you to fit your course. If you wanted something like a 5% buffer or anything like that, I can also set that up. Please message me.
