An important assembly for the end of the year. This assembly thinks about how children can stay safe in the sun, safe if they are playing on their own and safe if they are using the Internet. It also asks pupils to reflect on the year that has just been. Included are songs and a quiz. A chance to say goodbye for the year...

Fun group signs with a table points chart for each and mini labels, which can be used to stick on pupils' books or as tokens in a behaviour management strategy. Save yourself some time preparing for a new year! I cut these signs out, double-backed and laminated them and then hung them from the ceiling above the group's table. They could just as easily be stuck onto the wall or table.

A great way to start planning a topic. Get all of your ideas down on a colourful and visual topic map. Included is an example map created for my topic on Hamlet and a blank version, which can be adapted and tailored to suit your needs. If you're running CPD on planning a topic, this is a good way to get staff thinking about cross-curricular links.

Presentation and examples of rubrics, which I created when running an INSET on self- and peer- assessment. The INSET had very good feedback and teachers changed their practice as a result. It was created for an hours INSET. The presentation is 11 slides long. It asks teachers to reflect, gives information on current practice in self- and peer-assessment, has activities for teachers to complete in teams and gives examples.

This assignment includes my: blood, sweat and tears! This is my NPQSL assignment and is focused on improving writing in a primary school. I really wish I’d had an NPQSL example assignment to look at while I was writing mine as it would have stopped me second guessing myself. However, I passed with flying colours and am now offering mine to you to make the process much easier. I uploaded the assignment on 8.2.16 and received feedback on 29.3.16. Feedback (as shown on first page) awarded all of the 9 competencies as passed at the required level. The written feedback was excellent and only includes strengths, no areas for development. I have deleted several appendices because they included photographic evidence of specific events/individuals. I would recommend that you consider doing this also as visuals are always a nice break from a lengthy piece of text. However, I have kept my action plan and report to the Headteacher in the appendices as I feel these are important for your reference. My resources always take me a lot of time and effort to create so I hope that they help to save you some precious time - please do review my resources. Thank you! A section from my written feedback: 'Strengths were demonstrated in Delivering continuous improvement as your priorities for improvement were clearly linked to your vision for the project. You regularly reviewed progress and reflected on actions and achievements of pupils in writing. The Action plan and strategies were fully implemented and you skilfully monitored planning, teaching, learning and assessment data. Throughout the project you remained solution-focused. In terms of Modelling excellence in leadership of teaching and learning you demonstrated excellent leadership of teaching and learning. You set up and embedded the writing initiatives and adapted the teaching and learning approaches to suit the needs of pupils.

I am holding a whole-school growth mindset afternoon to continue raising the profile of the mindsets and how they can impact success. I created this powerpoint, which includes 10 mindset activities for teachers to choose activities from. Activities relate to various different subjects and are fun and engaging ways for pupils to develop their understanding of growth and fixed mindsets.

This is my own personal statement for the position of Assistant Headteacher for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum - a job which I got. Being able to download someone else’s personal statement while writing mine, would have been a huge help. Therefore, I thought offering mine, would give practitioners an option to view one before they start writing their own and thus having new ideas and a clear structure. Obviously, every personal statement should be tailored to the person specification but it is easy to use ideas from this personal statement and shuffle them around accordingly. I have removed specific names from the personal statement and instead typed, XXX.
