Get that Interview - Get that Job; your first steps to a new position A proven letter template of 2 sides that can be used to shape your application letters and Personal Statements for Senior Leadership Posts; I have shaped this letter over the years and it has helped me to be selected for numerous interviews and ultimately to be selected for 3 Headships. Having recently retired, I am hoping this will help other colleagues to achieve the same, so go for it and good luck!

A Template that will help Senior Teams and Middle Leaders collate evidence on student work in a coherent and straight forward manner. It already contains a number of key areas of focus that will be required by your teams, however it can easily be adapted to suit your establishment.

A mini module that can be incorporated into any careers Program, that prepares a student for attending an interview, or indeed to support them in preparing for any school based interview process.

Supporting colleagues through a ‘Coaching Approach’ is considered an excellent way in which to involve staff in their ‘school journey’ If you are interested in leading out a Coaching Programme for staff at your school, then a good starting point is to complete an online qualification; I completed a 100 hour course in Life Coaching before implementing a Coaching Programme for teachers and support during my role as a Head and HOC. This resource contains my 4 completed assignments of 5000 words + to help you along your way - all passed with distinction. I have also added teacher planning and observation sheets to this resource that have been used in my provision as part of the process. Assignment 1 - Basic principles underlying Life Coaching Assignment 2 - Theory behind LIfe Coaching. Action Planning. Links to other disciplines and the difference between coaching and mentoring/counselling Assignment 3 - Life Coaching and the working environment. Communication Assignment 4 - Life Coaching and stress/work life balance. The GROW model. Financial and Spiritual Coaching

A module of work that can be added to any PSHE/Life Skills Programme which focuses on the topic of Citizenship. It covers such topics as What is Citizenship? Rights and Responsibilities of Citizens and Active Citizenship and Moral Dilemas

A mini-module that I wrote for Life Skills lessons in my role as Head of a PRU. It challenges the students to reflect upon using more appropriate language in and around the school site and to look at alternatives to the inappropriate words students would often use. This resource can be slotted in at any stage to a PSHE, Life Skills or Citizenship Programme.

A useful tool/template that can be completed by students in year 9 - 11, to help them track future career plans and identify the steps they need to take in order for them to achieve their goal. Help students answer three key questions: Where are they now? Where do they want to be in 5 years time? What do they need to do to get there?

A 6 week module for KS3 or upper Primary that can be added to any PSHE/British Values Programme. It works students through the need for rules and law in society, expectations in school and in the home, how the law is made and then additional lessons on rights and responsibilities in a modern society.

A Mini module for students to help them reflect upon their behaviour; it is ideally suited for 1-1 intervention work, although it has been delivered in class, as part of a life skills programme. The module is based on training in basic behaviour management for staff that I delivered, which I turned on its head to help students reflect upon their actions, by putting them in the shoes of the teacher. The resource is part of the behaviour management series I have added here that includes, ‘Positive Teacher Language for Behaviour Incidents’, 'Using Appropriate Questions to Re-focus Students and Behaviour Support Packs 1 and 2.

Two key templates that help students to track their progress whilst on work experience which will become more pertinent as schools work to achieve the Gatsby Benchmark. The trackers were part of a booklet I wrote to accompany students on their work experience and they could form part of your booklet, if indeed the school has one - if not a WEP/WRL booklet is a good way forward. The additional sheet offers introductory guidance for students. Both trackers could form part of any follow up careers lesson. The resource contains: Employability Skills Tracker WEX reflection template Your introductory sheet for WEX How to make the most of your WEX

Middle Leaders are the real drivers of school improvement; they are the heartbeat and engine room of a school and we need to ensure they are fully supported. This 2 hour training session was delivered to the Middle Leadership Team across the Service, as a starting point for a real focus on their development and it was received very well by the team. The session initially focuses on the meaning of leadership and the characteristics of good middle leaders, alongside the difference between management and leadership. It then moves to focus on the role of the middle leader and expectations for their role in schools as well as potential training needs for further development. Feedback on the interactive session was very positive.

A quiz I have recently put together to help engage an out of school student I am supporting who has an interest in Grime Music.

Pastoral Leaders use Part time provision for exceptional circumstances often where there is a complete breakdown in school discipline or where the reduced provision will benefit the health and wellbeing of the student. Such provision needs tracking and auditing; this resource provides you with a visual week by week tracker that identifies student targets and incentives during the reduced provision, that can be used as ongoing evidence for the review process at the end of the agreed time. This exemplar tracker is set up for a 4 week Programme but it can be adapted to suit student needs - the document can be referred to when staff need to discuss behaviour and the targets with the student. I also include a recording sheet with this resource.

Part 1 of 3 Behaviour Support Packs that have been proven to support improvements in Behaviour. A five week module of work that can be used as part of a Life Skills Programme or for intensive 1-1 targeted work. The module uses real life examples as identified by the student through reflection, to help modify and improve their future responses and relationships with staff. The programme aims to support improvements in student behaviour by helping them reflect upon their previous actions and behaviours.

This is a Year Planner for Assembly Themes (Highlighted in Red on a Monday) and Thought for the Day (For each day during the school year). Although this is one I wrote for the last school year (Dates on Calendar will be for 2019/2020) it will still provide some creative ideas for assembly themes and thoughts for the day that can be further developed by your tutors or teachers of PSHE. It is all perfectly laid out on a calendar style template.

This resource identifies a number of questions that can be asked of students during a tutorial/review day or simply used to help prompt appropriate and supportive conversation between a tutor and their students. I wrote this resource for my tutors in a PRU who had to lead student reviews at the end of each term and they found it very helpful in prompting appropriate responses from their students.

The I.B.P. is an in-depth document for recording and tracking student behaviour. It is a supportive document that collates a range of evidence on the student and identifies a range of strategies and interventions to support improvements. This is an individually designed IBP that has been used alongside other Pastoral Support Programmes and which has been used to help provide evidence in both EHCP Review meetings and PEP’s.

An excellent resource for all those staff needing to track, monitor and trigger support for student behaviour; a useful resource that works alongside other SEN documentation as part of any action planning processes - this documents forms an evidence base over time of actions taken and the appropriate support that has been implemented. I have added the Inclusion Support Plan as an additional resource with this package - both documents would work together.

The Student Review Book, primarily aimed at year 9 students, provides an extensive document that supports student reflection and action; the plan can be used at the end of a term or at the end of a year, to help the student reflect upon the previous term/year and put thoughts and actions into place for the following term/year. The plan also provides a focus on Citizenship and how this has been developed by the student over time. The document can be incorporated into any PSHE or Life Skills Programme or indeed form an integral part in any Tutoring Programme.
