Have something else in mind? No problem - just get in touch!
Would you like to have your most experienced and knowledgeable teacher in every classroom? Would you like an easy way to share their expertise with those earlier on in their career?
I'll work alongside your experts, and we will turn their wealth of knowledge into a series of videos that can have long-lasting and far-reaching impact on the lives of both staff and students.
Curriculum Development
PSHE Curriculum
Do you feel like your school or trust is being reactive rather than proactive with its PSHE curriculum? Our young people face challenges that we never faced - in a world that, once understood, changes again. Do you worry about the pressure that this places on teachers who deliver your PSHE curriculum?
I'll work with your PSHE experts, as well as local or national charities, to create a series of videos that provide your staff with the support they need. This will give you peace of mind that these difficult themes are being covered in a consistent, well-informed and appropriate manner. Alongside this, I can also provide resources to send out to parents, so they become better informed and gain reassurance that their children are being taught these issues in a robust, unbiased and sensitive way.
Do you want your assemblies to better convey the ethos and values of your school? Have you introduced a new initiative and now need the school community to jump on board? In our co-planning meeting, I would sit down with a member of SLT to discuss the upcoming program of assemblies and any existing resources. I would then revamp or design presentations so that the topic fits with your core values and messaging.
Whole School Assemblies
Local Heritage
Do you want to celebrate the local heritage of your community? Do you find that this valuable piece of the History curriculum is often de-prioritised for other topics? Or do you simply it difficult to get students enthused about faded old photographs?
I have a personal passion for local heritage and so would gladly work alongside your History department to either re-vamp your existing resources or create new ones. These can be woven into the History curriculum or into the tutor time and assembly programme. I would work with local historians and museum staff to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the story of your school's community.
