Currently work in the Youth Justice Service developing programmes of intervention for young people in the service.
Past experience working as a teacher of Art and Graphics in a young offenders institute, teacher in alternative provision education specialising in SEMH & SEND, and mainstream secondary teacher of Design Technology and Art & Design.
I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.

I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.
These resources are bits that I created during my PGCE year, when I taught GCSE Photography (AQA)
The resources include a variety of activities, such as starters / plenaries /homework
The composition worksheets were used alongside a selection of photographs that I printed as well (these can be selected based on the class / themes etc)
Feel free to contact me with any questions!
These resources are something I created for the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Creative Media (Graphic Design) - Unit 08
I have laminated the resources for reference, however they would also work on display made larger
These resources will also be available in the bulk resource I will upload for Unit 08
Feel free to ask any questions
A PDF containing a range of close-up photographers with examples of their work.
I designed this to inspire GCSE Year 10 pupils at a previous school.
I have also added an abstract and portrait photographer PDF files as well (separate uploads)
This is a full unit of work for the NCFE Level 2 Certificate / Diploma in Creative Media (Graphic Design). I wrote it to deliver within a young offender setting and it works really well for 15-18 year old learners that are low ability.
I have included pretty much all of the corresponding worksheets for the unit in this bulk resource.
Please note: I have uploaded some of the illustration resources separately as well, as this resource took me a long time to produce and it can work on its own or as part of this unit)
Prior to me writing the qualification, I found very little resources for the NCFE quals so hopefully this will support others now!
I have also uploaded:

The unit of work is based around graphic illustration and the resources provide a series of design movements and explain how they have influenced illustration.

This is a worksheet I created when teaching KS3 Resistant Materials. The classes I taught were mixed ability and I have made this activity differentiatable as a result.
I delivered the activity by first discussing each piece of equipment with the class and showing them the physical object. You then have two options: cut and stick the definitions by pairing them up (used for EAL, SEN and lower ability) or by writing the definitions in the correct boxes.
This works well as a small group activity and as a competition!
Feel free to ask any questions.
I created these resources during my time working as a Teaching Assistant in a school with a large majority of EAL learners. We held an EAL focused day and I provided resources for the creative subjects - Art & Design and Design & Technology.

Worksheets relating to logos (a bit of fun), and colour
Hello sheet in different languages
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
