Charlie Taylor is the Government’s Expert Advisor on behaviour in schools.  He has recently published “Getting the simple things right: Charlie Taylor’s behaviour checklists”.

This report and the suggestions it contains are simple and very practical.  It gives key principles for headteachers to help improve school behaviour and a behaviour checklist for teachers. 

So, in addition to involving your School Council in the writing of your Behaviour Policy, have a look at Charlie Taylor’s suggestions, because they seem to be a very sensible path forward.
