Belonging First: Behaviour That Builds Engagement
Every pupil wants to feel they belong. Belonging First: Behaviour That Builds Engagement shows educators how to create classrooms where trust, connection, and emotional safety come first. This INSET course gives practical strategies to support all learners, including those with SEND or SEMH needs. Staff will learn trauma-informed, inclusive behaviour approaches that improve engagement, participation, and wellbeing. By prioritising belonging, your school can transform behaviour and help every pupil thrive.
Creating a Strong Behaviour Culture in Secondary Schools
A positive behaviour culture shapes success in every secondary school. Creating a Strong Behaviour Culture in Secondary Schools equips staff with practical, relationship-focused strategies to manage challenging behaviour consistently and confidently. This INSET course supports teachers and pastoral teams to build trust, reinforce positive conduct, and strengthen everyday interactions. By embedding clear, consistent approaches, schools can improve engagement, behaviour, and wellbeing while creating an environment where every pupil can succeed.
Approaches to Support Challenging Behaviour
Understanding challenging behaviour is key to creating calmer classrooms and stronger learning outcomes. Approaches to Support Challenging Behaviour gives educators the tools to look beyond the surface and identify the causes of behaviour through theories like the Iceberg Model. Participants explore trauma‑informed, inclusive strategies that replace punishment with support, use evidence‑based models such as Positive Behaviour Support and Emotion Coaching, and learn to manage behaviour during unstructured times. This course helps schools build consistent, reflective practice that improves behaviour and strengthens whole‑school culture.
Positive Behaviour Management Strategies
High‑quality teaching relies on behaviour management that promotes respect, engagement, and progress. Positive Behaviour Management Strategies focuses on positive, proactive approaches that help staff understand why pupils misbehave and how to support better choices through clarity, consistency, and relationship building. The course explores practical tactics for managing both low‑level disruption and more serious challenges inside and outside the classroom, boosting pupil confidence and improving learning experiences across the school. This training is ideal for teachers who want effective behaviour management tools grounded in evidence and best practice.
Behaviour Management for Support Staff
Support staff are vital to a school’s behaviour culture and deserve targeted training to feel confident and effective. Behaviour Management for Support Staff equips teaching assistants, lunchtime supervisors, librarians, technicians, and non‑teaching staff with practical behaviour strategies and communication skills that build respect and rapport with pupils. The course strengthens understanding of behaviour triggers, teaches de‑escalation techniques, and shows how to respond calmly and consistently to maintain classroom standards. This training helps support staff become respected role models and active contributors to positive behaviour across the school.
Building Positive Relationships for SEND Behaviour Management
Supporting learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) requires deep understanding and strong relationships. Building Positive Relationships for SEND Behaviour Management helps educators explore evidence‑based approaches to behaviour that recognise behaviour is not always a choice. The course highlights how positive rewards, consistency, clear communication, and appropriate adjustments can motivate pupils with SEND and reduce disruption. Participants also learn how to support emotion regulation and engage neurodivergent learners effectively, helping schools create inclusive environments where all pupils feel understood and supported.
