Hi welcome to my shop!
I'm currently Head of Humanities, but I've also been head of department at a number of other schools, not to mention head of year. So I have a lot of high quality resources to share.
I take real pride in trying to ensure my resources are well presented, clear, easy to use and of course challenging and engaging for the students. They have taken me a lot of time to make, but hopefully they will save you a lot of time.
If you have any feedback then please review me!

Let’s make this Christmas lesson one to remember!
This is a fun lesson for Drama or English that gets the pupils to think about how to build an original character.
It includes a number of activities and some fun drama games to get the students warmed up.
This lesson introduces the students to Scientology and asks the question is it a real religion or is it a cult?
It is designed to be an introduction to the faith. It looks at the history, beliefs, practices and controversies surrounding Scientology.
This lesson was been commended in a recent Ofsted report and has been praised by staff and students alike for being interesting and challenging.
It is a really good start to the ‘Alternative Religions’ unit and gets the students to reflect on their own faith and consider what a religion really is.
This lesson looks at the issues surrounding quality of life and sanctity of life and get the students to debate, discuss and vote on life and death issues.
-It starts with a classic balloon debate (which is both enjoyable and challenging)
-It goes on to look at a real life case study of Diane Pretty
-It continues with a deep discussion of four real life case studies
-It concludes by looking at why human life is so sacred
A highly recommended lesson that has always been rated as outstanding or excellent.
This lesson explores the Christian attitudes towards war and looks at the Just War Theory.
It allows pupils to explore the apparent contradiction in religion (‘Thou shall not kill’) with the Chrsitan support for wars.
It is an interstimng lesson full of activities that gets pupils to empathise, but also reflect on what they value and what they believe to be true.
An interesting, fast paced and challenging lesson.
This is an inspirational assembly that looks at the issue of what can we do to make a difference.
Some terrific video clips and some really good stories.
This can be done at any time of year, but it will almost certainly result in you getting a standing ovation!
One of my best assemblies. Highly recommended.
This is a powerpoint presentation that can be used to stimulate debate and allow the students to explore major world issues and topics.
There are 51 different topics here and these cover popular debating topics (animal rights, immigrants, democracy) and more obscure topics (about junk food and curfews!)
Really useful starter, plenary, tutor time activity, drama activity or in a debating club.
This lesson explores the Just War theory and looks at several case studies to consider whether or not the War was justified (e.g. WW2, Vietnam, Gulf War etc.)
It challenges pupils to apply the criteria set out to determin whether or not these wars (or any war) is justified.
It also asks questions about the greater good, human rights and the value of life.
A really interesting lesson.
This is a fantastic assembly that looks at how we spend our time.
This can be used at any time but may be most effective at the start or at the end of the year when the students have an opportunity to reflect on their own use of time.
It covers:
-Where units of time came from
-Why the calendar doesn’t make sense
-How the calendar could be better
-How people in the UK use their time
-What we can learn from the regrets of people who are dying about their lives
-Inspirational quotes
This is a very popular and thought provoking assembly, and one of my favorites. Highly recommended.
This lesson explains Chrsitan attitudes towards drugs and alcohol using Christian teachings, UK law and morality to explain what the attitudes are and how they developed.
This is a well resourced lesson that is suitable to be used in RE, citizehship or PSHE.
It can easily be adapted for different year groups, although it is Primarily aimed at GCSE students.
A fun and fascinating lessons what will get the students to think and ask good questions.
This lesson is an introduction to the big six major world religions.
The students have to make notes on the big six and compare and contrast them.
It is a good intro to the unit exploring ‘Alternative World Religions’ (also available in my shop!)
A fun and fast paced lesson that promotes independent learning.
This is the end of unit assessment for my fantastic places SoW.
It is set up like a GCSE paper but designed for KS3 students.
It includes a differentiated version, source booklet and mark scheme.
This can be used and adapted to make your own similar assessments.
A really useful resource.
UPDATE - I have now included a powerpoint to guide the students through filling in the Transition Passport
This is a useful and fun welcome booklet aimed at students who are moving from Primary to Secondary School.
It contains a number of activities designed to help students to settle into a new school and get to know their class mates.
This booklet is also useful for:
-Tutor group activities in form time.
-PSHE lessons.
-Getting to know you activities.
-Summer school
-Breakfast club
-Homework activities
This is an excellent assembly to get the students to think about the power of gossip and the importance of communicating effectively.
It uses several examples to make the point and features intro and exit music (and a clip featuring advice from Socrates)
An excellent one off assembly or an assembly to respond to gossip around school.
This lesson looks at the various Christian attitudes towards homosexuality.
It investigates three different perspectives (Liberal Protestant, Evangelical Christian and Roman Catholic) and why they believe in this view.
This lesson can be used for KS3 or KS4.
There is a model answer included (this is based on the GCSE Edexcel SoW) but can easily adapted for another SoW.
Students then look at a flawed model answer and are asked to improve it.
They are also encouraged to consider their own views, why they hold those views and whether their views mirror one of the religious perspectives studied in the lesson.
Overall a fantastic lesson.
This lesson investigates the assassination of JFK and gets the students to examine the evidence to try to answer the title question.
This is an interesting and powerful lesson that gets students to challenge the official account and form their own theories as to what really happened in Dallas in 1963.
A really good lesson.
This lesson is most effective in year 7 or 8. Students are asked to write a letter to themselves to explain what they are like and what they want in the future.
Then in year 11 (or 13) they open the letter and see how much they have changed and grown since the wrote the letter.
A really fun and interesting lesson that shows how much the students grow while they are at school.
UPDATED - 12th March 2020
This fantastic Assembly is designed to inform students about the ongoing Coronavirus crisis that is spreading across the world.
It covers:
-Myths and Facts
-Causes of the virus
-The 5 w’s about the virus
-Effects
-Symptoms
-History of pandemics
-Advice to keep safe
An excellent and well resourced assembly that explains the issue clearly.
NOTE - This was created at the beginning of March 2020, so you may need to update the figures on a couple of the slides to give the most up to date information.
This was a survey I created when completing my NPQSL. I made it from an amalgamation of serveal other surveys I had seen used at other schools. It proved to be a useful and a powerful tool.
I used it to gather information about how we could improve our transition procedures, but it could easily be adapted to find out what the students think of their school.
A fantastic aid to pupils voice in school.
