A 14 page booklet that identifies a plethora of mini games and activities that can be played by students of all ages. The games/challenges are very simple to set up and use many items that are at hand in a classroom. I have used the ideas presented in this book both as a wet weather PE resource and for use at lunch and break times, in primary, secondary and in alternative provision. Challenge the students and have fun!!

Are you a new headteacher or longstanding one, who needs to review practice in their school/provision? The following 7 page audit designed in diagrammatic format, asks questions of the practice undertaken in your provision so that you and your Leadership Team can reflect and review the current position of the areas identified…those areas for the purpose of this document are: Curriculum and curriculum development Teaching, learning and assessment Behaviour management Staffing Site and resources Other considerations - like staff and student voice/extra curricular etc. This is an authentic document that I wrote to help identify my initial priorities as I moved into a new position as head of a special school.

This resource consists of a presentation that I wrote and delivered on Differentiation for staff training. The slides explain clearly what differentiation is, how it links to effective learning for all students and the keys ways to differentiate in the classroom. The presentation can be paused at regular intervals so that staff can discuss the points raised. It formed part of a whole morning training session and so what would be required after the delivery of the Power Point, is an opportunity for colleagues to explore the process of differentiation/ideas in their subject or departmental teams.

Are you looking to interview for your new Senior Leaders or Assistant Heads and Deputies? If so, this resource will provide a range of tasks that can be administered for these interviews and give you a range of feedback to help you choose the best candidate for the role. I have used each of these tasks for SLT interviews in Special Education and they had proved invaluable. As a bonus I have also added a wide ranging number of interview questions that I feel sure you will find useful.

This is an activity sheet to use with students after a visit to Hever Castle. It serves as a reflection exercise, as well as helping them to explore a little more about the people connected with the castle.

Are you looking to review job descriptions or to re-define the role of your Tutor Teams? This resource identifies in full what are considered the key roles for the Form Tutor on a day-to day basis. This resource can be used by member of SLT to reinforce, or indeed re-invent the expectations for form tutors in your establishment. I originally wrote this for my school as the Tutor Period was re-introduced and it identified the guidance as to the expectations for the new role.

A worksheet I have recently created for a student with SEN, to follow up his visit to a Sea Life Centre; the sheet can be used as a discussion tool or the student can attempt t write out their answers.

A worksheet that can be used with students who have an interest in using a metal detector; devised to encourage thinking about the topic and give appropriate information to those that are interested in exploring.

A simple sheet to encourage thought and reflection for students with SEN, after a visit to the cinema or after watching a clip on YouTube . The aim is to encourage students to communicate their thoughts, in writing about the film.

An Extensive Questionnaire (22 Questions) that can be used for self evaluation within the LSA/TA Support teams or as part of wider school/staff evaluation that informs the school development plan or gives feedback to Senior/Middle Leadership.

A bank of statements that can be added to a spreadsheet or Tracking Document, that identify a range of Behaviour, Behaviour for Learning and Emotional Targets that can be used to track student behaviour in any educational provision.

Are you interviewing for Pastoral Posts within your school or beyond? This grid of questions identifies key areas of focus for the role and desired responses from your candidates - an ideal companion for non teaching pastoral posts, or indeed those of a more senior nature.

This resource can be used as a self - assessment/self-reflection document at the end of a module on forest or animal school. I wrote this for a teacher working with an autistic child, with a working at age of around 7-8. There is a writing and spelling focus, but it could also be used as a document to help initiate discussion.

Are you an aspiring Head of Department or looking to move into Middle Leadership, if so please read on…this resource is an actual letter for a theoretical role. Based on the success of my Exemplar Deputy Head/Head letter, I have written a letter for aspiring MIddle Leaders. The one side of A4 letter provides an exemplar letter for such a role; it provides all the buzz words and sentences from which you can develop your own narrative and it provides a structure to your letter that will make it stand out from the crowd.

With the new RSHE guidance being implemented from this month, I believe that this resource provides an ideal starting point when focusing on positive loving relationships, the family and an introduction to Sex Education for Key Stage 4. The KS3 resource initially focuses on the importance of friends and family and a wider look at relationships, whilst the KS4 resource also focuses on relationships, but with a closer look at boy/girl relationships, sexual responsibilty and love. The resource contains all learning materials that allow for it to be implemented into any programme immediately.

A very useful template for collating information on new students to your provision. This can be used by staff supporting the induction of new students or indeed by admin staff who support the collation of information on new students - Once completed this is a useful document to share with key staff who work with the student.

Do you have an induction process for a new student? If so, this resource will help your colleagues get to know them a little better, especially useful in AP where new students may be a little nervous about sharing information; this mini booklet asks some gentle questions to help the colleague inducting the student to collate useful information and encourage discussion.

This Induction Programme Template identifies key areas of information and key personnel that new colleagues should become acquainted with in their first month of employment. Senior Leaders, Middle Managers and Line Managers should be supporting the induction process and ensuring that colleagues are well looked after, at what can sometimes be a worrying time for new staff.

Are you a new Head looking to identify key priorities for improvement? If so, you may find this real life exemplar of an Action Planning Document very useful; designed in a manner that has both clarity and coherence. After securing a Headship in a school requiring improvement and having made numerous visits to my new school (and after reading appropriate documentation and data) I decided to write the template identified in this resource. The layout helped me to formulate key action points in a clear and coherent manner; it also proved to be a useful document for my colleagues in SLT, from which we were able to identify key points for moving forward; the document fed into the School Development Plan and SEF and helped us to focus on key priorities.
