Dear Colleague

Primary Behaviour Strategy

 

I am pleased to inform you that Norfolk has been selected for involvement in the DfES Primary Behaviour Strategy.  This strategy has been made available to LEAs that have areas of significant deprivation but which did not qualify for earlier initiatives such as Excellence in Cities. 

 

A paper is attached which gives a summary of the project.  A key feature of the project will be termly cluster meetings.  These will be made available to all schools in January, March and June 2004 and again in 2004 - 2005 and will focus on developing approaches to addressing behaviour difficulties. Funding for supply cover for one member of staff will be made available to all primary schools and primary focused special schools and Pupil Referral Units. Each cluster meeting will be supported by members of staff from the Advisory and Pupil Access and Support Services and will follow a DfES suggested agenda.

 

You will hear from Chris Snudden and James Thatcher about these meetings in the near future and I am writing to ask you to give thought to who will attend from your school as the lead behaviour professional. It is important that there is senior representation by a member of staff able to help develop whole-school approaches.

 

If you have any queries about this project please speak to the following members of staff:

 

Liz Jones (PA&SS)                     01603 458191

Chris Snudden (NEAS)             01603 433276

James Thatcher (PA&SS)         01603 222574

 

Yours sincerely

Director of Education
