How to Use This Site
This site is designed for teachers to deliver the Ignite programme with minimal preparation. Each lesson is contained within a single webpage, with each activity explained and given a recommended duration.
Those with interactive whiteboards and/or a sufficient number of tablets can deliver each lesson simply by going through the webpage with students. Alternatively you can provide instructions by following the lesson on a laptop and writing key information on the board.
To find lessons, click on the menu symbol at the top of any page.
The programme has been adapted for each secondary Key Stage.
- Key Stage 3 - ages 11-14
- Key Stage 4 - ages 14-16
- Key Stage 5 - ages 16-18
It consists of four different modules:
- Understanding yourself

For each lesson you can choose whether to use a 20, 30, 45, or 60 minute version.
