What's included in this bundle?

FREE 10-page fully editable checklist to use as a memory aid and to-do list to keep Christmas chaos at bay. We've split it into two parts to help you:

School-based tasks covering aspects that you may want to wrap up before the Christmas holidays and the start of the Spring term in January. This includes elements such as:

  • evaluating this term's progress towards your school improvement plan or subject action plan milestones
  • collecting and analysing data for your subject or whole school, including triangulation of any data anomalies
  • considering your CPD offer and what needs to take place next, including plans for January INSET days
  • ensuring line management duties (such as appraisals) have been completed, as well as considering processes for staff who are leaving and joining your setting
  • consider parental and stakeholder engagement so far and how you can start the new term smoothly
  • ideas for any catch-up tasks that you might have missed, such as checking your risk register to see if it's up to date.

It wouldn't be Christmas in school without overbooking the timetable with millions of activities, so use the Christmas-based tasks part of the list to keep organised for all your festive events, including:

  • considering all aspects of organisation and prep for your Christmas performances, plays or assemblies
  • expectations around Christmas-themed activities for pupils, including how much of your planned curriculum needs to still be taught
  • making arrangements for the school Christmas dinner
  • planning how you can be involved with different community events this Christmas
  • organising your staff Christmas do
  • getting ready for January (because no-one wants to take down the Christmas tree during the January INSET day...)

Suitable for school leaders of all levels, simply do the following:

  • add any tasks that we haven't thought of (and why not let us know on Twitter/X, Facebook or Insta what your setting does at Christmas!)
  • share any tasks that aren't relevant to your role with other leaders
  • delegate tasks that others could be doing to support the Christmas efforts
  • delete anything you don't need to do

It's not going to be the best Christmas gift you ever receive, but it will help you out this year, and best of all, it's FREE! So sleigh your worries about Christmas chaos by downloading it today!
