This assembly has been designed for KS3–5 to mark Remembrance Day 2026. It provides students with an understanding of the origins of Remembrance while bringing the subject up to date by explaining the modern role of the Royal British Legion.
The main focus of the assembly is the story of remarkable acts of heroism on the Western Front during the First World War. Students are introduced to the individual stories of three Victoria Cross recipients whose bodies were never recovered, providing a powerful and engaging way to explore the human experiences of war and remembrance.
The assembly includes detailed presenter notes for each section, guiding staff through the key points to cover alongside the slides.
Having delivered the assembly, it received highly positive feedback from both students and colleagues, making it an engaging and meaningful resource for Remembrance Day 2026.
This assembly offers a powerful and moving way to mark Remembrance Day in 2026, linking directly to the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme and an incredible discovery made over a century after the fighting ended.
The assembly begins by exploring the Battle of the Somme and the different ways fallen soldiers are remembered, including named graves, unidentified graves and the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing, which commemorates over 72,000 British and South African soldiers who died on the Somme and have no known grave.
Students are then introduced to the personal stories of three soldiers who fought in the battle, bringing the events of 1916 to life. The assembly builds towards the remarkable story of Private Percy Tolliday, who was originally commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial but whose remains were eventually identified through DNA testing. On 21 October 2026, Percy was finally laid to rest with full military honours at Warlencourt British Cemetery, 110 years after his death.
This assembly provides a fantastic opportunity to show students that remembrance is not simply about remembering the distant past – it remains relevant today. With recent discoveries, real personal stories and important historical anniversaries, it encourages students to reflect on the individuals behind the statistics and understand why we must continue to remember those who sacrificed their lives.
This resource also has a teacher dialogue sheet to give extra information about the assembly.

Celebrate Black History Month 2026 with this complete whole-school assembly resource based on the theme Honouring Our Communities.
This professionally designed assembly explores Black British history, community, contribution, recognition and the people whose actions help shape and strengthen society. Pupils are encouraged to look beyond fame and consider why everyday service, leadership, creativity, courage and commitment also deserve to be recognised.
The assembly introduces Black History Month before exploring the idea that Black history is part of British history. Pupils encounter figures including John Blanke, Mary Seacole, Walter Tull and Claudia Jones before considering the Black people who continue to contribute to communities across Britain today.
Throughout the assembly, carefully structured questions encourage pupils to think more deeply about whose stories are remembered, why some contributions receive greater recognition than others, and whether somebody needs to be famous to make a meaningful difference.
The resource concludes with a clear whole-school challenge based around three ideas:
NOTICE who contributes.
LEARN the stories behind those contributions.
RECOGNISE why they matter.
This resource includes:
• Full Black History Month 2026 assembly PowerPoint
• Approximately 28 professionally designed slides
• Complete 20–25 minute assembly script
• Teacher guidance and delivery support
• Community Honour follow-up activity
• Community Honour nomination task
• Pupil reflection opportunities
• Tutor-time discussion prompts
• Whole-school follow-up challenge
• Key vocabulary and discussion questions
• Opportunities for KS2, KS3 and KS4 adaptation
Topics explored include:
• Black History Month
• Honouring Our Communities
• Black British history
• John Blanke
• Mary Seacole
• Walter Tull
• Claudia Jones
• community and belonging
• contribution and service
• leadership and courage
• recognition and representation
• famous and less-visible contributions
• modern Black British communities
• individual and collective impact
The assembly has been designed to move beyond a simple collection of famous biographies. Instead, pupils are encouraged to consider what contribution actually means and recognise that history is also shaped by teachers, healthcare workers, volunteers, artists, coaches, carers, leaders, organisers and other people whose work may never make national headlines.
This is a funny, tongue in cheek, spoof assembly all about a teacher having to organise their class assembly. It is perfect for upper KS2. It includes a fully editable script, powerpoint (if you need one) and an optional song (music not included - I asked a musically gifted staff member to compose a simple song to accompany it).
Feel free to edit and share the assembly, though I would expect to be accredited with a link to my shop https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/mrajlong if it is shared online or on a website.
