Our school currently uses the PiXL edge initiative with a focus on LORIC (Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative and communication) I have created these posters for each skill as a wall display for my classroom. Enjoy :)

Here are a my Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural posters, they show students and staff what may be needed to cover SMSC within lessons: Students: How have thy used SMSC in each lesson Staff: How have you planned for SMSC I do not have an editable version as these posters took me a long time and I drew all of the symbols from scratch. This s something OFSTED have looked at in the past few inspections I have experienced. Hope this helps… Enjoy!

Here are some posters/ fact cards based on some famous explorers including: Amelia Earhart Sir Edmund Hillary Neil Armstrong Ernest Shackleton Amy Johnson These are the names of our houses, but I guess you could use them for anything… Enjoy :)

Another unit that can be used in both vocational studies and BTEC construction QCF (can count towards the level 1)

Something I created for my last school, this is designed for students with SEN needs to carry round with them so that teachers can see how they they work best and also give them a topic of conversation in order to build relationships, it can also help with settling students in tricky situations.

We have some children with SEN/ EAL needs, here I have taken a variety of dishes on the school menu and made them into visual aids, they also help with children who have eating disorders to plan and arrange what they will agree to eat.

These units have been developed for a stand alone Pearson BTEC Level 1 Award in Basic Cooking Skills (QCF). The units do coinside with other BTEC qualifications, however, we use it here as a basic introduction to the kitchen, we deliver it to KS3 and Year 10 and often use the units of work to count towards their Pearson BTEC Level 1 Award in Vocational Studies (QCF). The total credits for this award are 5. This work has been internally verified by our meticulous BTEC moderator and is good to go. It is pretty simple to complete, therefore I have not included teacher guidance. I have left a space on the front for your aims as well as your school logo, I do not have an editable copy as the fonts I have used are not available on all computers, this would mess about with the layout when you print it out. (Also it saves as a much smaller file size if the font is in vector format rater than text). These are units can also be found in Pearson BTEC Level 1 Certificate in General Cookery in Hospitality (QCF) AND Pearson BTEC Level 1 Certificate in General Food and Beverage in Hospitality (QCF) : Unit 1= Unit 11 Unit 2= Unit 12 Unit 3= Unit 13 I am sure that they are in a number of other BTEC Qualifications too.

A poster with the words from our students at the centre alongside the words that we should be using in schools to promote Britishness and British Values. We have it as an A3 Poster in our form rooms as well as a big display in the main hall. Please select the option print to fit when printing. Would be great to see how you use it, follow me on twitter: @razfromcav :)

Here are 30 starter cards that I developed for pupil led starter activities, although tailored towards D&T, they can be modified for most subjects. I use these by getting a pupil to choose one at the end of a lesson, in order to deliver it for the next lesson. I also use them myself to prompt further activities/ mini plenaries in lessons. Would be great to see how you use it, follow me on twitter: @razfromcav Let me know what you think :)

Here are 48 plenaries I have tried to design the cards for pupils to use in order to promote student leadership in lessons. I also use them myself to promote variety in my lessons. I cut them out and laminated them in order to produce a deck of cards pupils pick out 4 cards and deliver one of those 4 activities. Although I have adapted these tasks for technology, many of them are generic and can be used in your own way across all subjects. I hope you find these useful. (Apologies for the apostrophe error I will correct this if I get time) Would be great to see how you use it, follow me on twitter: @razfromcav Enjoy
