Scary!
This is yet another reason to ban social media for U16s.
This has been very upsetting for our local community, unnerving for children, a drain on finite police resource & really consumed a lot of staff time…. all unnecessary & hugely reckless

Such a shame some leaders feel threatened by people who are expert in their field-
You gain so much by employing people who know more than you about certain areas x ❤️

When you give schools and teachers responsibility for everything…education, parenting, mental health, discipline, meals, safety, you don’t get better outcomes, you get burnout.
Systems fail when expectations replace support.

Inclusion does not mean lower expectations & standards.
It means supporting kids to reach the expectations & standards you have.

Suspension… the clue is in the name; you’re suspended from the school. You shouldn’t remain on site. If this move becomes policy it will be a disaster. It becomes isolation. It’s not the same thing. It will increase workload & it will make things even more difficult.

If you are a Head and you are faced with the snow decision remember you simply cannot please everyone, so trust your gut, your site team, whether it’s safe to open or not and whether your staff can actually get to work safely. Everything else is irrelevant white noise.

Serious post:
Look after yourself this year.
Nothing is more important than your health- mental and physical.
Few things in life are worth compromising these over.
Prioritise diet, exercise and sleep.
All the best tomorrow.
You got this 💪🏼.

Why does this seem like rocket science? 🚀
All those people sending students into the corridor, I wonder what magic thing we expect to happen to them. A miraculous conversion? That they’ll sit, like Buddha under the tree until they become enlightened? They’ll see it as a deterrent? All it does is kick the behaviour can up the road for ten minutes, and when they re-enter, nothing has changed apart from the fact that they are now ten more minutes adrift from the classwork.
They’re unsupervised- which is a safeguarding disaster- unoccupied, and now free to caper where their heart takes them. It’s a Phantom Zone where nothing good happens.
If they need to go, send them somewhere supervised. If they can stay, let them stay. The only reason to use the corridor as a temporary space is if they need a moment to compose themselves privately after an upset, or you want a quiet, immediate word with them away from an audience.

Great guy and very knowledgeable 😌
So SEND students can be supported by high quality teaching. However, that’s not just it. Adjustments to their timetables and additional staff is usually needed too. Schools with well above average in SEND needs and PP grant struggle most - not always with the needs but the lack of resourcing. Grades of schools isn’t everything.

40,000 teachers left the profession last year with student behaviour being a significant factor in their decision.
We need to explore the full extent of the damage done by restorative practice with minimal sanctions.
