“..the increase in poor behaviour among a minority of pupils is posing a challenge for school leaders and teachers…A lack of support from some parents, many of whom are facing challenges themselves, in dealing with behavioural issues only adds to the scale of the challenge.””
Pepe Di’Iasio, General Secretary, ASCL leaders’ Union
“Instead, schools and local authorities should work to create environments where school exclusions are not necessary because pupil behaviour does not require it.”
Suspension and permanent exclusion guidance
“Good behaviour in schools is central to a good education. Schools need to manage behaviour well so they can provide calm, orderly, safe and supportive environments in which children and young people want to attend and can learn and thrive. Being taught how to behave well is vital for children to succeed personally and for them to successfully navigate the communities they inhabit.”
Behaviour in schools guidance
Join us at the Improving Behaviour in Schools Conference 2025 for a day dedicated to empowering school leaders with the latest strategies and insights to enhance student behaviour. This comprehensive agenda features essential updates on government policies, effective anti-bullying strategies, and innovative approaches to tackling issues such as sexual harassment and misogyny. Gain valuable knowledge from experienced educators and advisors on establishing a whole-school culture, engaging parents and the community, and implementing restorative discipline policies.
The conference also includes case studies on practical initiatives like mobile phone bans and specialised sessions on supporting early career teachers with behaviour management.
This event is designed to provide school leaders with actionable strategies to foster a positive and inclusive learning environment. Through presentations, interactive Q&A sessions, and opportunities for virtual networking, you will connect with peers and experts dedicated to improving school behaviour.
