Do you know what I hate more than posters about rules and acronyms? Awful behaviour that makes me want to leave teaching.
The critics of this approach fail to understand that staff & kids by & large want total certainty over rules, expectations & norms. Visually displaying your nailed colours to the mast reinforces this & supports consistency. I wish more schools would be so explicit.

If you’re not doing something effective about this headline and you’re criticising the school that is transformed because of the second picture, perhaps consider whose side you are on.
Paulton Rovers must have some kind of problem so they need people to stay away for the final game of the season. Ingenious method.
I see Edutwitter is talking about corridors this weekend. Let’s just remind ourselves of what this school was like before it was taken over by its current leadership. I’ll take bland walls if it means students are now safe and teachers can now teach
So we shouldn’t have rules? Or any expectations for behaviour? Because of #SEND students? Sorry but I completely disagree. We can’t lower our expectations for all because a few can’t manage.

Imagine the shock of a school that has clear rules & has those clear rules visibly on display across its site in prominent positions …. it’s almost as if a school wants everyone to know what’s expected rather than inconsistently guessing…..
PSA It’s always, always silly to talk about neurodivergence, disability, or additional needs as if it is one single thing. Carry on.
Absolute solidarity with David here. Unlike (I’m guessing) 100% of people criticising this school, I’ve been, and it’s wonderful. Calm, safe, dignified. Students can move about and learn in safety, and crucially, are happy. I’ve spoken to *lots* of them. Again, unlike the…

Who would've thunk 😏... schools have rules 🤷🏾♂️
I still have the first record I ever bought.
For what it is worth: - having a few clear rules in a school is essential - enforcing/defending them necessary - putting them on a poster aids clarity for all so is sensible
Progressive and kind edutwitter: “Ofsted is terrible and should be abolished because you can’t judge a school based on a short visit.” Also progressive and kind edutwitter: “I have decided that this school is terrible from a single photograph of one empty corridor.”
Arne Slot is definitely about the right level.
He had the best Liverpool team ever with the best players in the league…
@tombennett71 As another school who has just graduated from the Behaviour Hub I have nothing but praise for it. The training and support is FANTASTIC and gives me the confidence that as a school we are doing everything possible to ensure behaviour is good as possible. Thank you.

Hard agree with this. Being explicit and sharing expectations gives clarity for all and supports students to meet the expectations. This in turn allows for a safe, calm and orderly environment. Win win!
For what it is worth: - having a few clear rules in a school is essential - enforcing/defending them necessary - putting them on a poster aids clarity for all so is sensible
@StuartLock @tombennett71 I think you're right, @StuartLock. Also, #JustSaying
@StuartLock @LauraFMcConnell My sister really appreciated your efforts. Sometimes we don’t tell people that enough. (Efforts sounds terrible, I can’t think of a better word on a Saturday morning though)
This is a great thread to demonstrate the reality of creating environments where children are safe and learning-especially children with SEND- and the armchair experts with their fantasy school systems. Amazing stuff.

Surprised to read this. James has personally told me that he strongly felt that Nickleback were the last great American band on multiple occasions. What is even more surprising is the fact that they are Canadian.
So we shouldn’t have rules? Or any expectations for behaviour? Because of #SEND students? Sorry but I completely disagree. We can’t lower our expectations for all because a few can’t manage.
Utterly awful to be a disabled child having to repeatedly be near posters framing success as things they can’t do. I don’t understand why anyone would think that a good idea?
Imagine the shock of a school that has clear rules & has those clear rules visibly on display across its site in prominent positions …. it’s almost as if a school wants everyone to know what’s expected rather than inconsistently guessing…..

Also great to see that the site continues to develop. These posters were designed by our excellent librarian, Mr Harris, and are in every classroom - and now on the corridors to reinforce our message and ethos.
