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.

This is a cover lesson I created due to me being off from school.
It is aimed at KS3 students, either in Art & Design or Design & Technology.
The theme is Camille Walala and Memphis Design, with rebranding.
I know how stressful cover lessons can be to create when you are not well, so hopefully this will help!
The PowerPoint contains a school specific teaching tool (purple zone, which is designated independent time to work). Please feel free to modify as you see fit!
Any questions please ask.
I have started to create my own resources for Unit 01. As I create the lessons, I will upload them individually. Once I have a full Learning Objective uploaded, I will create a bundle!
PLEASE NOTE: The Food & Nutrition resources were all designed in the 2020-21 academic year when I taught this subject. I have since left the role and have not been back and checked for any links that no longer work.
This resource is from LO3: Understand how hospitality and catering provision meets health and safety requirements
L1 - Introduction to Health & Safety Laws and Documentation
L2 - COSHH
L3 - RIDDOR
L4 - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
L5 - Manual Handling
L6 - Risk Assessments
Please note: The majority of the lessons are designed with online learning in mind, due to the current circumstances. They are easily adapted however, to work when practical lessons are back up and running!
If the formatting is off when you download it, this may be due to my font choice, I apologise in advance (Century Gothic).
Any questions please ask me :)
This is an online learning style lesson that I created for my KS4 WJEC Hospitality & Catering class.

A set of worksheets relating to different graphic designers
Each one encourages the learner to consider the designer and the reasons behind the given example, with reference made to the visual elements of design
Work well with the NCFE Creative qualifications, but would also work as a homework task for mainstream KS3 / KS4 Art & Design based subjects
A series of displays I created for my classroom
Colour theories, Pantone and Swiss Design
I use these in my young offender Graphic Design classroom but they would work in any creative environment
A work booklet I designed for the delivery of the NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Performing Arts Unit 06 (Exploring Design Skills for Performing Arts)
I have used this booklet with young offenders and the format works well.
If you want anything modifying on the document then please do contact me.
A PowerPoint I created for KS3 (year 7) Food & Nutrition.
Based around the Eat Well Guide and follows on to a healthy pasta salad recipe to make in the next lesson.
Also included: blank Eat Well Guide and Deli Salad Recipe plan - colour coded to help pupils relate it back to the guide.
Works really well with mixed ability groups and is a colourful lesson!
Feel free to ask me any questions
This is a series of resources I created during my PGCE year for a Year 8 KS3 Art & Design class.
The project focuses on Pop Art and self-portraits.
Feel free to contact me with any questions
These are a series of design movement influences sheets created for a unit of work that I am currently producing.
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.
I will be laminating these for reference in class, however they would also work well on a display board.
I will also include these in the full resource for the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Creative Media (Graphic Design) - Unit 08
Feel free to ask me any questions!
A PDF containing a range of abstract photographers with examples of their work.
I designed this to inspire GCSE Year 10 pupils at a previous school.
I have also added a portrait photographer PDF file as well (separate upload)
This is a cover lesson I set for my KS3 Year 7 class who were in the Resistant Materials stage of their curriculum.
A very simple lesson that requires computers for the best possible outcomes.
Feel free to ask any questions.
I created this reference sheet for use in my establishment. I find it supports both myself and the learners with their understanding of the various verbs used within the assessment criteria for their qualification.
The colours are coded to sit alongside the TEEP taxonomy tube map
The title verbs are taken from Bloom’s Taxonomy (Anderson’s Revised)
Feel free to ask any questions!
I have started to create a bank of worksheets focusing on various designers / artists / illustrators. These stem from my initial design movement worksheets (also available on my account).
I use these worksheets to introduce young offenders (15-18) to a range of designers and artists. These worksheets could also be left as cover, or even set as a homework task to build learner knowledge and understanding. Each worksheet has two parts, the information sheet and the corresponding worksheet.
This bundle contains:
Aurelio Sanchez
Elena Gumeniuk
Rachel Bungey
Jimmy Turrell (X4 sheets)
I have tried to look at some more obscure and unusual examples to broaden knowledge for learners.
I will continue to upload bundles of between 5 and 10 sheets as I create them.
Please feel free to ask me any questions! Happy to make changes if needed :)
I have created a bundle for the full NCFE Level 1 Award in Graphic Design units.
This bundle contains resources, booklets etc. for Units 01-04
These have been updated for 2019/20 delivery.
The units have been designed by myself for delivery in a young offenders institute. I find them very popular and have seen good success rates with them.
The NCFE EQA approves of the formatting for the unit booklets and finds them very easy to quality assure.
Feel free to message me with any questions.
I have recently modified the resources to remove all youth justice reference. If you require any changes, please feel free to contact me nataliesheldon86@outlook.com
Colourful and interesting literacy in Art & Design word mat
I designed this to be used alongside the NCFE Graphic Design & Art & Design qualifications, however it would also work for KS3 and KS4 in mainstream schools.
Contains key words, connectives, punctuation, command words, sentence starters and homophones
I have also created a numeracy mat in a similar style
I have laminated these and they are available for my learners in a folder in the classroom. They could also be stuck to desks or inserted into portfolios to support with annotation and theory work.
I have created a bundle for the full NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Creative Media (Graphic Design) units.
This bundle contains resources, booklets etc. for Units 02, 04, 07, 08. Completion of all four units allows the learner to achieve the full certificate. I am currently working on units to allow completion of the full diploma.

The focus of the booklet is gun crime in the United States. The booklet makes reference to geography skills and graphic design skills, with literacy encouraged throughout the booklet in the form of questions and answers.
I decided to create this booklet after watching some of the Louis Theroux documentaries on Netflix (around gun crime in the United States). These would be a potentially great add-on to the booklet.

This list is not exhaustive, I will be creating worksheets regularly and will update the list as and when.
I have numbered the tasks to eventually collate them into a full booklet. I will be uploading the tasks and info in subjects (see above). Once I have created and uploaded them all I will create a bundle as well. I will also be creating a checklist so that as each sheet is completed, they can be ticked off.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and feedback!
I will be continually adding similar resources as I produce them.
**I have uploaded these as PDFs due to the large file sizes and to avoid any of the elements moving on the designs. If you require an editable copy, please email me nataliesheldon86@outlook.com **
