Cats: Character and Community

Celebrate themes of acceptance and inclusivity through this showstopping
resource inspired by the new film adaptation of the musical Cats. Cats transforms Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-shattering stage musical into the must-see cinema event of the year.

This PSHE-led learning sequence, suitable for use with learners aged 7 to 14, uses cross-curricula activities (literacy, drama, maths and design and technology) to build towards pupils recognising and celebrating your school’s successes as an inclusive and accepting community.

Through this resource, pupils will be encouraged to evaluate the importance of accepting others and forming their own opinions, as well as to consider the significance of playing their own part in facilitating an inclusive learning community. Young people will be invited to create, explore and share imaginative writing, performances and much more!

Each lesson is carefully structured with teachers in mind and features pupil-friendly activity sheets and engaging homework tasks. All supporting materials include curriculum outcomes suitable for all nations and regions.
