Who would have thought Mr. Head would have so much trouble in this Leavers' Assembly - disciplining ........ his own staff?! There's Mr. Place - a geography teacher with an unfortunate temper; there's Mrs Sums - with an unfortunate obsession with numbers; there's Mrs Write - with her unfortunate outspokenness ... are you spotting a pattern here? And as for Mr. Force from the science department ... well, let's just say he might have pushed his luck just that little bit too far on this occasion! Anyway, hat's off to Mr. Head as he struggles on. After all, football is just a game ..... isn't it?!!
Also,
It's only a suggestion but ... if staff (real ones!) were able to make themselves available, it would be great fun to have them playing some of the teachers in this play!
Sample Text
Mr. Head: Ah! Mrs Write, our Literacy expert!
Mrs Write: (Enunciating every word slowly and perfectly) Good morning, Mr. Head. Good Morning, children!
Students: Good morning, Mrs Write!
Mrs Write: Before we go any further, I do feel it is important that our children can tell the difference between fact and fantasy!
Mr. Head: Er, don't you mean facts and opinions?
Mrs Write: (Impatiently) Just so! Though some of my students seem to be indulging in some very worrying fantasies at the moment.
Student 1: But you're always telling us to use our imaginations, Miss!
Mrs Write: ‘Tis true. But we also need to keep a certain hold on reality. And, to put it bluntly .... (pausing)
Mr. Head: (Impatiently) Yes, Mrs Write. We haven't got all day!
Mrs Write: Well, as long as you can assure me that I won't upset anyone in speaking my mind?
Mr. Head: It's never stopped you in the past!
Mrs Write: (Cagily) Well, it's about England's chances of winning the World Cup!
Mr. Head: Ah! (Pauses) Now I see where you're coming from. Could I suggest you proceed with extreme caution? With extreme tact, even?
Mrs Write: Oh don't you worry! You're looking at somebody who can not only write to the highest standard but is also always right in everything she says ..
Mr. Head: (Aside) And so modest with it!
Mrs Write: Let me just tell anyone who is nursing any illusions about England winning
Mr. Head: (Anxiously) I think I mentioned tact, Mrs Write?
Mrs Write: Well .... (takes a deep breath and then blurts out) England doesn't stand the faintest chance of winning the World Cup!
(Mr. Head covers his head in despair, as all students rise to their feet in uproar)
Mrs Write: You see what I mean? Somebody had to tell them! They shouldn't be allowed to continue believing in this fantasy!
Mr. Head: (In exasperation) Mrs Write! Have you ever heard the expression ‘Like a bull in a china shop'?
Mrs Write: Well, of course I have. A rather nice simile describing one who charges in and causes total havoc! (Pauses) But what has that got to do with me?
Mr. Head: Well, you could try keeping your opinions to yourself! Now, please, before you cause any more trouble!
(Mr. Head directs Mrs Write to her seat, and then gestures at student to sit down and calm down)

The Teachers should sit together, in a block – the first to walk on at the beginning of the assembly.
I have used a cast size of 30 speakers for this Leavers Assembly. Obviously, for one class of 30 this will require all participating children to speak; but if more than one class is involved i.e. there are two or three classes in the Year Group, then the same number of speakers may be kept, with the remaining children making up the remainder of the class, as non-speakers/supporting cast. Depending on numbers these children could represent some/all of the competing nations (32) – waving a flag when their country’s name is read out.
With all teaching parts, including that of the head teacher, the names can be changed from Mr. to Mrs and vice versa. These characters should be as ‘caricatured’ as possible i.e. sporty, super active P.E. teacher – in tracksuit; ‘alternative’ Art teacher, with dyed hair; ‘fusty’ old history teacher. The more over the top the better! (The props are suggestions – undoubtedly more can be added!)
