“60% of school leaders and teachers reported that pupil misbehaviour had had a negative impact on their health and wellbeing to any extent in the past week: of these, 7% reported it to ‘a great extent’, 23% to ‘some extent’ and 31% to ‘a small extent’ ”
The National Behaviour Survey Report, DFE, June 2023
“On average, teachers reported that for every 30 minutes of lesson time, 6.3 minutes were lost due to misbehaviour. The majority of teachers (69%) reported that between one and ten minutes were lost per 30 minutes of lesson time. This was similar between primary and secondary school teachers ”

“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
Following years of debate around the ‘behaviour crisis’, changes to guidance on behaviour in schools as well as the suspension and permanent exclusion guidance make it clear that behaviour in schools is a priority for the 2023/24 academic year. The first National Behaviour Survey Report sets out the huge detrimental impact of misbehaviour, on both teaching time lost and staff mental health and wellbeing.
With changes to the recommended contents of your behaviour policy, a focus on a whole school approach, new guidance on classroom removal as well as suspensions and exclusions, there is a lot to keep on top of. Join us for this full-day online conference to hear updates and best practice advice from a range of experts in the field of school behaviour. You can also join the debate regarding the ability of these proposed changes to meet the needs of children with special educational needs or disabilities. You’ll leave the day feeling confident that you are ready to tackle your new duties and obligations.
