Bring creativity and reflection together with this versatile back-to-school activity!
This activity invites students to choose a shoe outline that represents them, decorate it to express their personality, and reflect on their learning journey and future goals. With designs ranging from Crocs and trainers to boots, sliders, and high heels, every student can find a shoe that feels right for them.
Perfect for:
New Starters – helping them settle in, share their interests, and set first goals.
Mid-School Students – encouraging self-expression, subject reflection, and early career thinking.
Senior Students – supporting transition planning with space to record their “next steps” after school.
This resource is ideal for back-to-school activities, pastoral sessions, transition projects, or end-of-year reflections. It’s flexible enough to be used across different year groups and can be adapted into engaging classroom displays — creating a “school journey pathway” that celebrates each student’s individuality and aspirations.
