Drop Down Day / Off Timetable Day Pack - A set of 6 lessons to cover a Drop Down Day (6 hours) all about democracy, elections and voting.
The Drop Down Day was put together for Year 9 originally, but all the resources are editable and well-differentiated so it could be used with any year group KS4 / KS3 with a tweak or so.
The overall theme for the series of KS3 Drop Down Days was ‘British Values’, so this is just one in a series of six which ran throughout the year. The day works especially well if you can align it with voting for the student council or prefects. At the end of the sessions, after carefully studying the democratic process, the students could come down to the hall to cast their vote.
There is much focus on British Values throughout the lessons as this was planned to ensure thorough coverage of Citizenship and SMSC.
All these individual lessons have been rated very highly by Tes users and are tried and tested in my own department.

UPDATED 2024 - 6 x fully resourced, highly-rated lesson packs with a focus on the 2024 General Election, political parties and leaders, voting and democracy. All 6 lesson packs are complete with at least one hour-long PowerPoint, accompanying differentiated worksheets, clip links with questions, plenaries, clear LOs and starters. All are well differentiated to three levels throughout to enable clear evidence of progress for all students.
Also includes a political leanings quiz for students to see who they might vote for in the 2024 general election.
These lessons have been designed to meet the Citizenship Teacher Associations guidance to help create a school which adheres to Ofsted's 'promoting British Values' SMSC policies. It also helps you meet all the national Citizenship curriculum criteria for KS3 / KS4.
These resources have been highly-rated individually by TES users, follow the same consistent format and are easy to follow.
There is zero extra work required. You can just have a quick look at them and teach - instructions are very clear as you go along.
I use all of these myself as a head of Citizenship, SMSC and PSHE and I really hope you find them excellent value. I've put literally weeks of time into this to make these lessons top quality for my own school team.

Drop Down Day Pack - A set of 5 lessons to cover a Drop Down Day (5 hours) all about financial literacy and ethical spending.
The Drop Down Day was put together for Year 10 originally, but all the resources are editable and well-differentiated so it could be used with any year group KS4 / KS3 with a tweak or so.
The overall theme for the series of KS4 Drop Down Days was ‘Independent Living’, so this is just one in a series of six which ran throughout the year. The day works especially well if you can have a key speaker from the Finance Industry (the school’s finance director will do) to kick off proceedings; just someone to emphasise how important financial literacy is and how it can lead to lucrative careers.
Intertwined with the money and independent living skills gained by students throughout the day are reminders of their responsibilities as consumers to spend ethically. There is much focus on young people’s rights and responsibilities throughout the lessons as this was planned to ensure thorough coverage of Citizenship and SMSC too.
All these individual lessons have been rated very highly by Tes users and are tried and tested in my own department.
