This bundle contains all five of our new exam wrappers (aka cognitive wrappers, assessment wrappers).
All of these exam wrappers are: A4, double-sided, colour, and editable. We have included both .doc and .pdf versions to aid with printing.
This bundle now also includes our zero-print ‘Virtual Assessment Wrapper’ which features fifty slides of student reflection activities for before and after assessments!
Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - use of exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools.
It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”, yet there are very few available online and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. These wrappers are designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and are designed to be fast, fun, and engaging.
This download comprises all five of our exam wrappers, buying them in this bundle saves money and the variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities and help maintain engagement.
For your convenience, we have also included some of our other metacognition sample resources in this bundle.
You’ve probably already heard of ‘Think, Pair, Share’ as an effective way to manage classroom discussions whilst promoting individual reflection: such an approach is widely cited as an effective way to engage students in metacognition and metacognitive reflection.
This 100+ slide PowerPoint contains over 300 metacognitive reflection questions making it the definitive ‘Think, Pair, Share’ metacognition discussion resource. You can save loads of time by downloading this today, it includes a whole-school license so that you can share it with the other teachers in your school!
It’s great for use:
During form/tutor time
As a starter activity
At the end of lessons to make good use of spare time
The questions are not subject-specific (although some do refer to literacy and numeracy) and the PowerPoint includes a ‘Randomiser’ slide: this allows you to instantly conjure new metacognitive reflection questions for class discussions and allows you to use this resource many times with the same group!
We’ve spent lots of time to make this the definitive Think-Pair-Share metacognition resource: make sure you check out the engaging and colourful design using the preview images above!

This flexible interactive philosophy lesson focuses on epistemology: the field of philosophy concerned with the nature of knowledge, different potential sources of knowledge, the difference between knowledge and opinion, and the different ways in which beliefs can be evaluated.
The download includes a free bonus resource: a comprehensive teaching pack focused on logical fallacies and critical thinking.
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy with students and, aside from referring to more conventional epistemological issues, it also explores to the importance of critical-thinking and how students can detect misinformation online and discern between reliable and unreliable sources of information; we’ve carefully selected the most significant epistemological issues and questions so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of knowledge
The difference between knowledge and belief
Different ways of evaluating knowledge claims
Intellectual virtues
Obstacles that arise in the pursuit of truth
This philosophy teaching resource also outlines and explains different epistemological views (such as empiricism, rationalism, fideism and scepticism).
The big question asked in this session is “Is it possible to know anything with absolute certainty?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
To what extent can we rely on the senses as a source of knowledge?
How do we evaluate the validity of different beliefs? and
What drives the spread misinformation and how can we detect it?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“It is impossible to know anything with 100% certainty"
“We should always be sceptical about what others claim to be true” and
“One should never believe in something until one has experienced it personally”
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities. Aside from a wide range of debate and discussion activities, teachers can also choose from a variety of more substantial activities such as essay writing, poetry writing, and speech writing tasks.
This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking to introduce philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking.
Philosophers and sages have reflected on the nature and significance of death and mortality since ancient times whilst reflecting on the possibility of an afterlife in the face of the mystery of death. According to many philosophers and psychologists: a healthy appreciation of one’s own finitude is essential for living a full life and for striving to live without regrets.
Speaking about death and dying is a taboo in our society and yet by failing to speak openly about it we can often exacerbate the fear of death in young minds and feed their anxieties around death. This interactive philosophy lesson allows for open and reasonable discussions about death, mortality, and the possibility (or impossibility) of an afterlife. It is created without a religious or cultural bias or an agenda to persuade or convert students to a particular viewpoint in relation to the afterlife.
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore these deep matters of life and death with students aged 8-16; we’ve carefully selected the most significant issues and questions relating to death and the afterlife so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of the death
The benefits of contemplating one’s own mortality
Different views about the afterlife
Whether or believing in ghosts is justified
The value of funerals and honouring the dead
Existential psychology
Please be careful to time your use of this resource carefully and to deliver it with due sensitivity as some young people might struggle to wrestle with these issues. Please note: this resource discusses a variety of afterlife beliefs (i.e. the possibility of reincarnation, Heaven, Hell and nothingness) and, therefore, will probably involve the analysis and evaluation of religious beliefs.
The big question asked in this session is “What are the benefits of thinking deeply about our own mortality?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
Why do you think people are reluctant to talk about death and dying and that such topics are a taboo in our society?
To what extent can thinking about death help us to appreciate and value those around us more?
Many people have reported seeing ghosts: to what extent does this prove that ghosts exist?
What do you think people experience after they die?
How should we live our lives in such a way that we are always ready to die? and
To what extent do Near Death Experiences (NDEs) prove that life after death is definitely true?
This multi-use interactive philosophy lesson explores ‘Philosophy of Mental Health’: an interdisciplinary field of study that combines views and methods from the philosophy of mind, psychology, neuroscience, and moral philosophy in order to analyse the nature of mental illness. We’ve aimed to combine philosophical issues with practical ‘PSHE’ topics to create a fascinating philosophy teaching resource that will help your students to explore the topic of mental health whilst emphasising critical-thinking skills and challenging assumptions.
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy with students aged 8-16; we’ve carefully selected the most significant issues and questions relating to philosophy of mental health so that young learners can engage in fun and useful philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of the mental illness
Different theories as to the fundamental causes of mental illness
How lifestyle choices can promote good mental health
How to respond to mental health challenges in ourselves and others
The role of society and culture in the genesis of mental illness
The big question asked in this session is “Why do some people face mental health challenges whilst others do not?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as
To what extent is mental illness similar to physical illness?
What are the primary causes of mental health challenges?
What is the best way to treat a mental illness?
What are some ways in which people can manage and reduce the amount of stress they have in their lives?
To what extent should people rely on medication to help manage and treat mental health conditions? and
How can lifestyle choices impact the likelihood that we develop mental health problems?
This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking explore the topic of mental health and mental illness with young people: it is of particular relevant to Psychology Teachers and PSHE Teachers and PSHE Co-ordinators.
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities. With a massive selection of activities designed to trigger philosophical discussions, debates and reflections: you can re-use the resource numerous times with the same group.
