This is an assembly which is aimed at raising student aspirations - asking them to think beyond the moment they are in, but thinking about where they want to be in 1,5,10 years time. It asks the deliver to highlight to students that there are hardships and barriers everywhere, but those barriers don’t stop us - they just ask her to find a different route - the same as set backs in life. It considers how some people have luck, but others have worked hard and references famous people such as Ronaldo, Beyonce and Nadia Murad (You could add more such as Walter Disney and barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey). Whilst some things seem massive and beyond us, it is important for us to always challenge oursleves - inventions in the past were built on resilience and failures and trying again. With this ever changing world, students are asked to consider the fact that jobs of today may not exist tomorrow. There are links to NCW and virtual work placements for students, as well as some fun slides around “jobs for everyone” with some “strange jobs”. This will need tweaking to your own schools (photo of school) and your ethos etc but should give you a good base to start. I have used “Don’t stop believeing” by Journey as an entrance song.

Note that this is the 2026 NAW resource An assembly or resource / or talking tool for tutors or subject staff to explore the world of apprenticeships.

Will need tailoring to your own schools, but the links etc, and info saves you doing all the research yourself.

An assembly aiming to allow pupils to consider their futures and aspirations. Pupils are given the opportunity to consider where they see themselves and what goals they have for each stage of their education and life. Considers whether pupils set targets or whether they make excuses. Get pupils to consider if they have thought about the achievements of the famous, and whether they consider it down to luck or something else. An examination of some key people in the public eye, who despite adversity have achieved big through hard work and determination and aspiration. This is about pupils considering how they approach their challenges and how they are setting goals for themselves. If they can dream it, they can make it. There is some thought about reflection, resilisence and aspiration. Pupils then take a look at some key achievements in history that have shaped the world today - without the risk taking; without the aspiration and without the hard work - we wouldn’t have the world we have today. Links to videos / music and narrative are at the bottom of each slide. It will need some personal amendments to match your school such as adding a picture of your own school and a picture of a pupils timetable.

An easy resource which allows teachers, heads of department, line managers and leaders to audit the coverage of important skills / concepts and processes at key stage 3, to enable the best possible progress and results at GCSE. Allows gaps to be easily identified and challenged / addressed to ensure maximum coverage and delivery to ensure students are adequately prepared for GCSE courses.

The audit allows colleagues to track across the 5 yr course (Y7-11) the skills and processes which are covered in teaching time, and the depth to which they are taught. The assessment objectives are also audited to ensure full preparation for the GCSE examination, and full breadth and depth of AO's are covered throughout the course. Any gaps are quickly identified, and can be bridged in future teaching, units of work and topics. Ideal for all departments, non specialists, NQTS and leaders.

The tracker allows anyone who is involved with careers, college applications and supporting of pupils into the next phase of their post 16 journey, the opportunit to strategically manage, prioritise and measure impact of 1:1 meetings, course applications and vulnerability to NEET. The tracker scores pupils based on LAC; PP; EAL; SEND; YJT; Ethnicity; Gender; ability and more, and identifies cohorts of pupils who would require priority for 1:1 to reduce potential NEET . The tracker also identifies pupils who have a vulnerability around their current grades, and any unrealistic level of courses they may have applied to at post 16 provisions. The tracker filters pupils who have not yet had 1:1; not yet applied for college courses and again enables collegaues to prioritise and measure impact. The tracker produces a full summary for careers leaders to enable static reports for PP; Gender; ability; course level; 1:1 and much more! All you have to do is input your information and let the tracker do the rest! The tracker will give each pupil a numerical value and this will enable you to target your pupils who are vulnerable to NEET. There is no password to protect the sheet so its straight in and on with it! Any questions, just ask!

An interactive unit of work which encourages students to think about society, the rights and wrongs and intentions by God. Students work through various themes of responsibility, intention, fault and blame and then begin to rebuild the world with all beliefs and rights considered.

This assembly focuses on students looking at how we and the world prejudge people, situations, events, lessons, experiences based on the "whats in front of us" rather than what is beneath the surface. Oskar Schindler - prejudged as a German, doing awful things to Jews yet he was actually helping them Stephen Hawking - prejudged by the way he looks, yet is the most intelligent man!! The clips link to susan boyle - prejudged but went on regardless and achieved James arthur - difficult home circumstances and troubled start but again went on to achieve Ussain Bolt - assumptions he would win, but other athletes still tried and Ussain came 3rd! Goes onto audience participation - i had two teachers all with food covered in chocolate (cheese, garlic, pasta etc) and pretended it was foul things (a bit like bush tucker trial!) and had a chocolate coin at the end for them - the point of it being that sometimes life, lessons, work, experiences are hard and not great, but to get the end prize the grade, the result, the overcoming of fear, that we have to go through these things to be better!). Music is "we could be heroes"

second part to resource pack one which included the audit and other associated materials. This pack is an add on to the last which includes the possible OFSTED questions, starters and settlers for SMSC and SMSC in detail.
