This resource is an example improvement planning document for Heads of Year and Pastoral Leaders. It is designed to identify specific strategies for improvement and suggested methods of improving tracking. This document is designed for a focus on three key areas: behaviour attendance attainment + homework This would compliment well with my other improvement planning document on my shop The Teaching Coach.

UPDATED! This assembly was designed after a series of fighting and physically violent incidents in my year group at the time. The message is very clear about the potential fatal consequences of fighting and one punch kills. At the time, I could not find an assembly which fitted these purposes. It includes: statements students might hear in relation to violence; as aggressors and bystanders information about why one punch kills are so dangerous a list of potential injuries from punches explanation of potential life long changes 3 news stories about fatal punches and a visual representation of the connection between people involved The final slides also include an interview with one of the offenders about the impact of his decision on the rest of his life. Very powerful, very moving. There is also a link to a police video on the dangers of one punch kills. Please check it is appropriate your year group before using - sensitive content.
