Standards of behaviour remain a significant challenge for many schools. There are many things that schools can do to improve, and leadership is key to this. Teachers alone, no matter how skilled, cannot intervene with the same impact as a school leader can.

Everyone who works in education knows that children’s behaviour makes the most significant impact on every facet of school life, not least, on their ability to learn.

Behaviour audit tool
Our behaviour audit tool is drawn from extensive research in the UK and further afield, designed to challenge your thinking about the way you establish your behaviour culture, and how relationships are formed and maintained with children. The audit tool will to enable you to review perceptions of behaviour within your school and the extent to which your procedures are evidence informed. It’s laid out in easy-to-read statements that can be scored to help you decide what areas of your practice need further attention.
Who is this for?
School leaders or pastoral leaders in all phases and settings.

What do you get?
Our interactive audit tool is a ‘one-stop-doc’ to support school and pastoral leaders, laid out in easy-to-read statements, that can be scored to help you decide what areas of your practice need further attention. It is designed to be used cross phase. It covers these six key areas:
- Our children are our priority – knowing and understanding your children and their influences.
- It is the norm to do the right thing – getting the culture right.
- Knowledge is power – use of data.
- Keep it simple – getting the basics right.
- The devil is in the detail – rewards sanctions and red lines.
- Make the implicit explicit – teaching learning behaviours alongside managing behaviour.
Need additional support?
We are experts in offering tailored, in-person support to schools. As part of our full behaviour programme, we can work side-by-side with your teams with a comprehensive and bespoke review of policy and practice, in a non-judgemental and fully supportive manner. We will then pinpoint where your current practice around behaviour management may be weak and find a way forward to better meet the needs of today’s young people. Please reach out to our education team to discuss or book a call with our behaviour expert Keven for more information.
