I am an RE teacher and have been teaching 7 years across KS3-KS5. I have taught an abundance of topics (including lessons outside of my subject area). I enjoy creating my own resources that promote: independent learning, creativity and engage all learners. My resources tend to be structured with clear outcomes and lesson challenges. Please message me with enquiries if you would like to find out more.

I am new to the teaching of Citizenship and in the process I have devised a series of resources for myself and for students to help with getting to grips with exam style and the mark scheme for different questions. I have designed a placemat/ sheet to stick in student books that explain what each style of question is/ command words and marks awarded. I have created a separate sheet for the 8 mark question which allows students to use a writing frame and the mark scheme to produce a good 8 mark answer.
