Hi welcome to my shop!
I'm currently Head of Humanities, but I've also been head of department at a number of other schools, not to mention head of year. So I have a lot of high quality resources to share.
I take real pride in trying to ensure my resources are well presented, clear, easy to use and of course challenging and engaging for the students. They have taken me a lot of time to make, but hopefully they will save you a lot of time.
If you have any feedback then please review me!

This Anti-Racism assembly or tutor time presentation is a very popular and highly effective assembly looking at the root causes of racism. It also highlights why racism is ridiculous and what we can do about it.
It highlights many of the major stories in the world today (from Brexit to Megxit to Trump to the refugee crisis) to show how they all have a racist background (You may wish to update this slide with the latest stories of the day, but that is up to you).
The assembly also looks at DNA and how we are all interconnected in ways we aren’t full aware of. This include a fantastic video which explains our DNA journey.
It includes tips on how to combat racism and quotes about race (from Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King)
A thought provoking but really interesting assembly.
This lesson is to help the students to plan their revision by doing a twist on the idea of a post mortem.
While a post mortem is after the event, the pre-mortem does the same thing but before the event (or exam). So instead of thinking about why they failed, they will think about why they might fail and try to put into place a plan to prevent that happening!
A useful and thought provoking lesson.

This is an assembly to explain the gender pay gap in society today.
-It covers why there is a pay gap
-What are the causes of the gap
-How equal the UK is compared to other countries
-What we can do to fix the pay gap
-And it investigates Iceland (the most equal county in the world)
The assembly finishes by getting the students to think about the gift of education and what they can do to make the UK a fairer society.
The assembly should take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete and is always very popular.
This is an outstanding and inspirational assembly.
This powerpoint (with activities) can be adapted to your own personal use or planner design.
It is designed to help tutor and pupils to ensure they are using their homework/study planners correctly and effectively.
It also helps to promote consistency and efficiency and help to improve h/w recording across our school.
This was a problem at my school until I created this presentation, and now it is much much better!
This assembly addresses the gun epidemic in the USA, by looking at:
-The history of guns in the USA
-The causes of the gun problem
-The NRA
-Trump and the Republican party
And causes for optimism for the future.
It was written in the aftermath of the Parkland School Shooting but is just as applicable to any mass shooting in the USA (update in light of the tragic 2022 school shooting at Robb Elementry school).
This is a well presented, well research, topical and very interesting assembly that covers the gun debate in some detail.
This is an outstanding assembly about the future and the choices students will have to make to get ahead of the competition.
This is a perfect assembly for student building up to their exams. The assembly gets them to think like employers and ask them who they would choose when faced with three applicants and ten different areas.
For each area (such as punctuality, references, experience, appearance etc.) the students are presented with three options and they have to pick the one they think would make the best impression.
The point being these are all situations they may well be faced with in the future and they need to make the right choices to get ahead.
This assembly also includes a video (which is optional based on how much time you have) as well as a powerful message.
This assembly was delivered to year 11 and year 13 but would also be suitable for KS3.
The assmbly should take about 15 to 20 min to deliver (less if you don’t show the video clip).
This lesson looks at the dangers of smoking through a variety of activities.
The lesson includes:
-Powerful anti-smoking ads
-What cigarettes contain
-What tobacco does to your body
-How to avoid getting addicted
The lesson can be extended to two or three lessons by getting the students to make an anti-smoking poster or presentation.
This excellent assembly looks at the issue of mental health and tries to strip away some of the taboos surrounding talking about mental health issues.
It includes the sad story of Robin Williams and looks at a advert from a Canadian charity focused on Mental Health.
A really useful and powerful assembly that can be held at any time of year (but is best in May during MHA Week)
Highly recommended.
This is an excellent assembly to get the students to think about the power of gossip and the importance of communicating effectively.
It uses several examples to make the point and features intro and exit music (and a clip featuring advice from Socrates)
An excellent one off assembly or an assembly to respond to gossip around school.
The assembly focuses on the importance of sleep.
The health, psychological, relationship, educational and even economic benefits.
It also has tips for sleeping better.
If you like this assembly please leave a review.
This assembly was originally created to introduce Mental Health Awareness week (in May) but can be done at any time of year.
It covers:
-causes
-effects
-Consequences
-Prevention
-A case study (Robin Williams)
-Video with real world examples
This is designed to be an assembly that is designed to run for 10 to 15 min.
If you like this assembly please leave a review.
This well resourced and well explained assembly looks at the history of fire works night, how it is celebrated today and why we celebrate it today.
It also looks at the firework code, the dangers of fireworks and how be considerate and how to stay safe.
It also has a true story to bring home the point that fireworks are not toys.
I have included teachers notes to help to explain the slides.

Title: Say what you mean and mean what you say
This assembly focuses on getting the students to think about communicating clearly as words have consequences.
It does this by looking at bad translations, famous parables and an amusing story.
It culminates with a hilarious true(ish) story about a lost in translation discussion between a Swiss Priest and an English school teacher.
This is one of my most popular assemblies with the students discussing it long after it has been held and requesting a follow up for a long time afterwards!
This is a good assembly with a strong message.

This is a fantastic twist on the flash cards idea that will prove to be a really useful revision tool in class.
INSTRUCTIONS: There are 28 cards with key words on one side and their definitions on the other side. The twist, no one has a matching key word and definition. So they need to call out their key word and everyone must look at their definitions to see if they have the definition to that key word. If they do, they flip their card over and read out their key word and so on until you go all around the class and back to the first person who read out.
This can get really competitive and forces the students to learn ALL the key words and definitions.
You can make up your own rules (personally I time it, and every time there is a mistake I make them swap cards and start again!).
This activity can easily be adapted to other schemes of work or even other subjects. I have used it for RE, History and Humanities.
A fantastic and useful resource.
