Further updated for changes to MLW and NI in April 2024, as well as some price changes. Two power points that will help students prepare for the world of work and living away from home. The first presentation looks at income from employment –considering the main deductions that lead to net pay being less than gross pay. The slides take students though the process step by step, calculating the deductions from a national living wage job. The second presentation considers main household expenses such as rent, council tax and insurance. Again the slides take a methodical approach, allowing students to see how quickly their income will be spent. Ideal for use in PSHE; also available as a separate resource is a set of worksheets for students to do their own working out – these are ideal for functional maths –calculator required!

Updated for April 2024 changes to MLW and NI as well as to reflect price changes. A set of worksheets that will help students prepare for the world of work and living away from home. The first sheet looks at income from employment –considering the main deductions that lead to net pay being less than gross pay. The worksheet takes students though the process step by step, calculating the deductions from a national living wage job. The second sheet considers main household expenses such as rent, council tax and insurance. Again the worksheet takes a methodical approach, allowing students to see how quickly their income will be spent. Ideal for use in PSHE and functional maths –calculator required!; Also available as a separate resource is a pair of power point presentations which go through the same information showing students how gross income is reduced and basic spending.

A selection of activities to help tutor groups or classes get to know each other. There are a range of tasks and challenges which require students to talk to each other in order to complete. Some challenges are especially useful as ‘ice-breakers’ such as ‘Sorting ‘ and ‘Find someone who’ (see below). Others are more suitable when the students have begun to get to know each other such as ‘Discussion Points’ and ‘Dilemmas’ . Sorting activities – getting children moving and engaging with each other such as by first name or date of birth. ‘Find someone who ‘ – they have to find someone who can do a particular task or who likes something particular or who has (done) something. Discussion points - a set of questions to get small groups talking about issues (we have tried to avoid any controversial topics) Dilemmas – a different type of question for groups to discuss their response to certain situation (again we have tried to avoid any controversial topics) Ten miscellaneous challenges including ‘think outside the box, number association and ‘tell the time’ and an 'A-Z ’ of categories -which are suitable for use at either stage. A set of visual challenges that provide a different opportunity for group working: ‘spot the differences’ and ‘what is it’ (digitally altered images). The resources are provided on a power point presentation as well as in a word document contains the same activities- especially useful are the sheets to fill in for the ‘Find someone who…’ challenges.

A resource to encourage purposeful talk and for students to reflect on their values. Each Moral Dilemmas provides a situation (such as finding money in the street) and asks student’s how they would respond –individually or as a group. Moral dilemmas are part of life and so their discussion fits into many areas of school life; ideal for use in tutor time -especially in encouraging talk with a focus and helping tutors learn more about their group. Suitable also for use in PSHE/Citizenship and RE –saving the need to devise suitable scenarios. The objectives are to encourage students to discuss and so develop their speaking and listening skills; reflect on their values and how to treat others with respect The resources supplied are a power point with 40 different dilemmas which are also supplied in a word document. They cover a range from ‘cheating’ at sport (the officials don’t notice an infringement) to who would you give a heart transplant to if the choice was a former alcoholic or a former chain smoker -so that there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer.
