In recent weeks, the Department for Education (DfE) published an independent review of behaviour and school culture by the teacher and behaviour expert Tom Bennett.
Creating a Culture: How school leaders can optimise behaviour highlights the importance of leadership as being key to creating the right culture to tackle poor behaviour.
In the report, the “behaviour tsar” calls on the government to revise the certification for all heads to include a requirement to show knowledge of how to create good behaviour culture and urges greater guidance for schools on how to manage and support the most challenging pupils.
While some countered that a number of its suggestions were obvious and already well established in schools by many heads, its emphasis on examples of good practice was warmly welcomed.
