Hi welcome to my shop!
I'm currently Head of Humanities, but I've also been head of department at a number of other schools, not to mention head of year. So I have a lot of high quality resources to share.
I take real pride in trying to ensure my resources are well presented, clear, easy to use and of course challenging and engaging for the students. They have taken me a lot of time to make, but hopefully they will save you a lot of time.
If you have any feedback then please review me!

This is a fantastic assembly that looks at how we spend our time.
This can be used at any time but may be most effective at the start or at the end of the year when the students have an opportunity to reflect on their own use of time.
It covers:
-Where units of time came from
-Why the calendar doesn’t make sense
-How the calendar could be better
-How people in the UK use their time
-What we can learn from the regrets of people who are dying about their lives
-Inspirational quotes
This is a very popular and thought provoking assembly, and one of my favorites. Highly recommended.

This is an outstanding lesson (this lesson has been praised by an LEA inspector, SLT, an AST and it has been highlighted in an Ofsted report).
It uses a variety of different activities including a scavenger hunt, a diamond nine and teamwork.
The lesson gets the pupils to investigate nine causes for WW1 (from Alliances to Sandwiches!) and the pupils need to find links between the causes and prioritise them.
It is a fun lesson but also an informative and chanllenging lesson.
This lesson introduces the students to Scientology and asks the question is it a real religion or is it a cult?
It is designed to be an introduction to the faith. It looks at the history, beliefs, practices and controversies surrounding Scientology.
This lesson was been commended in a recent Ofsted report and has been praised by staff and students alike for being interesting and challenging.
It is a really good start to the ‘Alternative Religions’ unit and gets the students to reflect on their own faith and consider what a religion really is.
This lesson looks at the effects of the crusades.
It briefly covers the context of the crusades (what they were, when they took place, why they took place)
The lesson has a variety of activities and encourages the pupils to think of both positive and negative effects of the crusades on Christianity and Islam (in Europe and the Middle-East)
An excellent lesson.
Was colonialism good for India?
While the question might seem obvious the students will be asked to use their critical thinking skills to investigate sources of information.
They will be asked to consider why so many people in India still debate whether colonialism was actually a net positive for Indian development.
That is the central question at the heart of this excellent lesson the encourages students to learn the history of India and try to identify the positive and negative contributions Britain made.
Well worth a look!
This is a powerpoint presentation that can be used to stimulate debate and allow the students to explore major world issues and topics.
There are 51 different topics here and these cover popular debating topics (animal rights, immigrants, democracy) and more obscure topics (about junk food and curfews!)
Really useful starter, plenary, tutor time activity, drama activity or in a debating club.
This is a really interesting and well resourced lesson that investigates the Sahara desert and the challenges of living life in such a hostile environment,
This lesson can be used as a one off (stand alone) or as part of a whole unit (such as my Fantastic Places unit, also available in my shop).
A really interesting lesson that forces the students to use their imaginations, decision making and empathy.
This assembly looks at the problem of Fake News in today’s society and the role it has played in several major world events since 2016, up to the present day (including Brexit, Trump, Wikileaks, Climate change denial etc.)
The assembly covers what fake news is, the history of fake news, where it comes from, how it spreads and why it matters.
It also features a quiz where the students will get the chance to see if they can spot the fake news stories out of ten unlikely sounding stories.
Finally the assembly links fake news to gossip and rumours and gives tips as to how to spot fake news (both online and in the classroom).
This is a fun but comprehensive assembly.
The assembly introduces the students to Red Nose Day
-What it is
-When it takes place
-Why it started
-Who it is helping
-How the students can help
The assembly can be updated for Sports Relief or for Children in need.
If you like this assembly please leave a review.
This lesson looks at the issues surrounding quality of life and sanctity of life and get the students to debate, discuss and vote on life and death issues.
-It starts with a classic balloon debate (which is both enjoyable and challenging)
-It goes on to look at a real life case study of Diane Pretty
-It continues with a deep discussion of four real life case studies
-It concludes by looking at why human life is so sacred
A highly recommended lesson that has always been rated as outstanding or excellent.
This is a fun lesson for Drama or English that gets the pupils to think about how to build an original character.
It includes a number of activities and some fun drama games to get the students warmed up.
This lesson investigates the assassination of JFK and gets the students to examine the evidence to try to answer the title question.
This is an interesting and powerful lesson that gets students to challenge the official account and form their own theories as to what really happened in Dallas in 1963.
A really good lesson.
This assembly explains the back ground to pancake day and looks at why millions of people eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.
-It covers the history of Shrove Tuesday
-The meaning of lent
-The purpose of fasting
-How lent is celebrated around the world (in seven different countries)
-Some fun facts about pancake day
-Why many non-religious people take part in lent
-How they can take part in lent (even if they aren’t Christian)
It’s a well resourced, presented and explained assembly. They students should not only enjoy it but also reflect on their own lives.
This is aimed at KS3/KS4 but could easily work for KS2 or even KS5.
You could also use this in tutor time.
This lesson is to help the students to plan their revision by doing a twist on the idea of a post mortem.
While a post mortem is after the event, the pre-mortem does the same thing but before the event (or exam). So instead of thinking about why they failed, they will think about why they might fail and try to put into place a plan to prevent that happening!
A useful and thought provoking lesson.
This lesson explores the Just War theory and looks at several case studies to consider whether or not the War was justified (e.g. WW2, Vietnam, Gulf War etc.)
It challenges pupils to apply the criteria set out to determin whether or not these wars (or any war) is justified.
It also asks questions about the greater good, human rights and the value of life.
A really interesting lesson.
This fascinating lesson introduces students to the Jehovah’s Witness faith.
It looks at myths and facts about Jehovah’s Witnesses, teaching the students about their background, history, beliefs, traditions and way of life.
The students will take part in a treasure hunt to find the answer to questions, and compare Jehovah’s witnesses to Christianity.
A really fun and interesting lesson full of interesting resources.
I have also included teachers notes for anyone unfamiliar with this faith.
This lesson is most effective in year 7 or 8. Students are asked to write a letter to themselves to explain what they are like and what they want in the future.
Then in year 11 (or 13) they open the letter and see how much they have changed and grown since the wrote the letter.
A really fun and interesting lesson that shows how much the students grow while they are at school.
This was a survey I created when completing my NPQSL. I made it from an amalgamation of serveal other surveys I had seen used at other schools. It proved to be a useful and a powerful tool.
I used it to gather information about how we could improve our transition procedures, but it could easily be adapted to find out what the students think of their school.
A fantastic aid to pupils voice in school.
