Survey to give parents termly 'snapshot' of behaviour
The Department for Education has announced that a new National Behaviour Survey will be launched to give parents a termly snapshot of the state of behaviour in schools, including disruptive behaviour and bullying.
The DfE has said it will not be an "accountability tool", but will provide parents and stakeholders the data they need to build a picture of behaviour in schools over time and improve the government’s ability to support schools with any challenges they are facing.
The new National Behaviour Survey builds on the £10 million Behaviour Hubs programme, which pairs up the best multi-academy trust leaders and academy heads with partner schools and trusts to help improve behaviour policies and outcomes.
