Over the next few weeks schools across the UK will be closing for the summer and saying goodbye to their oldest pupils, as they move on to the next stage of their education. We’re sure that as usual there will be many teachers trying to scramble together a last-minute Leavers’ Assembly performance. So, to help all these teachers out and save a lot of time, we thought we’d focus some attention on our best-selling assembly product: ‘Journey On Leavers’ Assembly’.

Journey On Leavers Assembly CD — Journey On

Originally published in 2009, Journey On has gone on to become our best-selling assembly title We believe that the main reasons for its enduring popularity are down to the very catchy, rock-based songs, along with a genuinely hilarious play script (Honey I Grew Down The Kid) which has now been performed in hundreds of schools across the country. We’ve also heard anecdotes about it being widely recommended through word of mouth and on various teachers forums. (more…)

10 Leavers’ Assembly Ideas! Fresh ideas for Year 6 Leavers

It’s that time of year again when teachers everywhere are preparing for their school leavers’ assembly…

If you’re starting to make plans but find yourself short of inspiration, don’t panic! On this page you’ll find 10 Leavers’ Assembly Ideas for you to use for free.

1. Alien Invasion Play

Set your class the thrilling challenge of creating their own leavers’ play about an alien spaceship that suddenly lands in the school grounds on their final day at school. Out pops a group of curious aliens who have never seen humans before! They know nothing about feelings, friendship, learning, or even our planet. Wide-eyed and eager, the aliens bombard the children with questions, desperate to understand this strange new world.

The children must become both storytellers and teachers, answering the aliens’ questions by sharing their own memories, experiences, and hopes for the future. Possible alien questions to inspire the play:

What is school, and why do you come here every day?
What are friends, and how do you know if someone is a good one?
Why do teachers tell you what to do?
What happens when you leave school—where do you go next?
Why do humans laugh, cry, or get angry?
What is a family, and why do you live together?
Why do you play games, and what do they teach you?
What is the future, and why do you sometimes worry about it?
Why do humans dream, and what do dreams mean?
What makes you proud, excited, or scared?

Encourage the children to weave these questions into their play, using dialogue, storytelling, and even songs or movement. As they answer, they’ll reveal their own feelings about growing up, leaving school, and stepping into the unknown.
