An editable World Book Day quiz, including ‘Guess the Character’ and ‘Name that Book’! Enjoy! :-)

Perseverance is a quality that we try and instil in all of our pupils in relation to way that pupils approach their learning and how they navigate their social interactions beyond the classroom. This assembly provides an excellent opportunity to present pupils with challenges and encourage perseverance. It also highlights the importance that we focus on moral perseverance: following the good path in the face of challenges. This assembly uses pencils to convey how something seemingly boring and insignificant can in fact be quite incredible if you think outside the box and have patience. It focuses on Dalton Ghetti’s carvings made of pencils and includes the parable about the Pencil maker to illustrate to pupils how to succeed in school.

An assembly all about the impact that random acts of kindness can have. It explores why we need to be kind to each other, the effect small acts can have on our family, friends and the wider communities and in turn our own wellbeing. The assembly lasts between 15 - 20 minutes, including a short clip from YouTube. The assembly is very easy to follow and is also editable. Enjoy! :-) I do not own any of the images or videos used as part of this assembly. All rights are reserved for the original authors.

Completing the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership between 2021-22 was one of my most fulfilling pedagogical achievements. In spite of the unprecedented challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic inflicted on schools throughout the UK, the trials we faced as a small, community-based village school spurred me to design a whole-school strategy that positively impacted our most vulnerable pupils. As such, I found great pride and joy in devising a project that reduced the disadvantaged attainment gap by improving pupil engagement, communication and wellbeing, therefore raising pupil progress and performance over time. The resource pack attached is my full assignment, including sponsor comments and all appendices, which are as follows: Pages 18 & 19 – “Raw Data Analysis [1.2.1]” Pages 20 & 21 – “Pupil Performance Data [2.2.3]” Pages 4 & 5 – “Sponsor Comments 1 & 2” Pages 22 & 23 – “Communications Plan [3.2.2]” Pages 24 & 25 – “Business Case [5.2.1]” Page 26 – “Risk Management Plan [5.2.2]” I am pleased to say I scored 27/28 on the project, and have shared it complete with assessor feedback so that people can see where I lost that pesky mark! I hope it is useful to those starting or finishing their NPQSL course.

I initially struggled to find a suitable template for the Communication Plan when completing my NPQSL and vowed to upload it to TES once I completed my assignment. I am pleased to say I scored 27/28 on the project (which you can also download on TES) and I hope this resource is useful to those starting or finishing their NPQSL course.

Help instil a cross-curricular sense of inclusivity, and question and adapt what you’re teaching so your curriculum represents the diversity seen in modern Britain in terms of gender and sexuality. If you want to change your pupils’ understanding and attitudes around gender, race, disability religion, LGBTQ+ inclusivity, you’ll need to make changes across your whole curriculum. Keeping topics about gender and sexuality confined to a small number of PSHE or RSE lessons is unlikely to have any significant effect. Use this Equality and Diversity curriculum audit tool to help you and your colleagues think about how you can embed these topics across all areas of learning.

Schools have an important part to play in the support system of all those in their care, and particularly in the promotion of mental well-being. Their efforts to promote the physical and mental health of the student population can positively reinforce pupils’ attainment and achievement, improving their well-being and enabling them to thrive and achieve their full potential. The focus on children’s mental health, though, serves as an important reminder to us that we must couple support for staff well-being with the same ambitions we have for our pupils. If we don’t, we will be letting down both cohorts. This ‘Staff Wellbeing & Teaching Toolkit’ provides staff with a plethora (four pages!) of online resources that support their wellbeing and work-life balance, as well as other superb online platforms that add value to pupils’ SEMH.
