KS3 IMPACT!
• Nearly 40% of pupils make a loss and no progress in the year following transfer, related to a decline in motivation
• Pupils characterise work in Years 7 and 8 as ‘repetitive, unchallenging and lacking in purpose’
• “Year 7 adds so little value that actually missing the year would not disadvantage some children” (Prof John West-Burnham)
Why do we need it?

KS3 IMPACT!It’s an L&T thing
“Schools are places where the pupils go to watch the teachers working” (John West-Burnham)
“For many years, attendance at school has been required (for children and for teachers) while learning at school
has been optional.” (Stoll, Fink & East)

•7 million UK adults cannot locate the page reference for plumbers in the Yellow Pages
BBC NEWS ONLINE:
More than half of British motorists cannot interpret road signs properly, according to a survey by the Royal Automobile Club.
The survey of 500 motorists - conducted to mark the 70th anniversary of the publication of the Highway Code - highlighted just how many people are still grappling with it.
According to the survey, three in five motorists thought a "be aware of cattle" warning sign indicated …
an area infected with foot-and-mouth disease.
Common mistakes
•No motor vehicles - Beware of fast motorbikes
•Wild fowl - Puddles in the road
•Riding school close by - "Marlborough country" advert

Evidence suggests that where schools have successfully addressed issues of
ethos and organisation, as well as strengths and weaknesses in teaching and learning, improved standards of
behaviour and attendance are the inevitable consequence.
Why?
King Edward VI School
Bury St Edmunds
What we know from research into behaviour management …
There are higher rates of difficulty and exclusion in schools with lower confidence in their ability to handle the problem.
Proactive schools have better behaviour – early intervention and preventative measures.
The action teachers take in response to a ‘discipline problem’ has no consistent relationship with their managerial success in the classroom. However, what teachers do before misbehaviour occurs is shown to be crucial.
In well-disciplined schools, teachers handle all or most of the routine discipline problems themselves. Indeed, the over-use of hierarchical referrals is a characteristic of high excluding schools.
One of the most worrying assumptions is that if mild punishment does not prove effective, then we should try more severe punishment.
In other words, one is led into a false escalation, rather like the postcard notice: “The beatings will continue until morale improves”.
Chris Watkins, Institute of Education
In general we aim to:1. Set out our expectations clearly2. Model the behaviour and language we expect from students
In responding to challenging behaviour, we3. Give students choices, rather than box them into a corner4. Avoid public confrontation where necessary by being prepared to defer issues to the end of a lesson
