An easy to use mark sheet covering the NEW (teaching from 2024) AQA GCSE speaking higher paper. Created from the mark scheme and broken down into an easy to use and follow format. Including the new AQA mark scheme developments and guidance on the meanings of key descriptors (e.g. well developed; communicated clearly). There is space for teacher to add student specific notes for even more supportive feedback, that can easily be acted upon by students. While I have made this as clear and easy to follow as possible, it is always useful for teachers to read the original mark scheme breakdown, which also includes sample answers and commentary, to ensure accurate application of the mark scheme. This has been created in a non-language specific format so can be used for Spanish, French or German. However, it was created based from the Spanish mark scheme, so may need additions/amendments for ‘complex language’ requirements, particularly for German. Word document to allow for school specific personalisation (names, logos, specfic class/test, department specific terminology etc). Foundation version available.

This is a PowerPoint that I have used for several years now. It contains a lovely welcome letter that can be printed and sent home with children and contains slides for you to edit and personalise with your own photos etc. It give ideas for talking about your likes and dislikes, fears, challenges, your hopes and dreams, things you find difficult, any big mistakes you have made when teaching for example ( keep it appropriate!). It helps with letting your class know you are human and even you make mistakes and also enjoy a challenge! There is a discussion point at the end for the children to discuss theirs, which can lead into a nice writing activity or just an oral discussion. I have used this in both KS1 and KS2.

Extremism and Fake News - Brand new for 2026. This two-hour lesson covers how we can check whether news posts on social media are real or fake, why its always important to check, especially before sharing, what can happen if we don’t, and how easily social media can lead us into extremist ways of thinking. Students will investigate a variety of news posts to assess whether they think they are real or fake, before checking them against verifiable sources, such as Full Fact, scientific research papers or official UK government data. All this information is included in an accessible, student-friendly way. The lesson covers six different forms of extremist thought, includes clips, creative tasks, information packs, literacy guides and much more. Best suited to KS4/KS5, but nothing unsuitable for KS3.

A practical guide to your first two years in teaching. It offers lots of time saving tips and advice on managing your work life balance, while also progressing with your career. I have been a teacher for over twelve years, and I worked in both pastoral and academic leadership positions. I have not done everything right, but over the years I have found ways to work that allow me to feel like I can be a great teacher, as well as being a good mum, partner, friend and not neglecting myself. If you want teaching to be a longterm career option, you need to work smart and hard. Early years teaching is tough and I hope this guide can give you some useful guidelines and bit of optimism.
