Behaviour and Attendance

This is the behaviour and attendance section of eRiding, where you will find useful information and resources to support teaching and learning in this area.


How to Access the Information and Resources

The resources, in the majority of cases, have been written by professional educators working within the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority, or by national education bodies such as the Department for Education Standards.

Please use the menu on the left of the page to access the various sub-sections of this area, with some links able to expand to show more links to pages where a "plus" icon is visible.

Here you will find useful and relevant information, and teaching and learning resources where appropriate.

The individual resources or 'objects' are shown in a horizontal panel, which includes information relating to the use of the item, and also the file size, so you can make the choice as to what you download, depending on the specification of your Internet connection.

Just click on the title of the resource to open, or right-click to save directly to your computer via the "Save target as..." option.

The majority of the teaching and learning resources are designed to be downloaded, and then saved, altered and repurposed to suit the requirements of the lesson or individual user.

Please refer to our copyright policy (the link is in the panel at the foot of the page).

Please use the addresses provided at the foot of this page to contact us if you would like more information, or you would like to contribute information or resources for publication on the site.

Introduction to the Behaviour & Attendance Area

The behaviour and attendance strand of the Key Stage 3 Strategy is focused on the removal of barriers to good behaviour & attendance in our schools.

The Strand seeks to supports the senior leadership teams in our schools to produce clear and coherent behaviour policies, in which the accent is on positive behaviour rather than discipline.

Pupils need to be told clearly what kinds of behaviour are acceptable and unacceptable and reminded about expectations.

Rules should be kept to a minimum and used only to safeguard key principles of the school's ethos.

Nonetheless boundaries should be made explicit with transparent, justifiable and fair sanctions that are applied consistently.

The Strand emphasises that school organisation, the school curriculum, classroom management and teacher behaviour all impact on pupil behaviour.

Behaviours that support learning often have to be modelled and taught in the classroom.

Above all it is the quality of teaching and learning and the ability of teachers to challenge, support and engage pupils that underpins positive behaviours.

The Strand seeks to promote a consistent approach to learning, teaching and behaviour management by involving pupils and staff in a self-review and audit of 10 key areas of school life.

The ability to help identify areas for development and inform policy development and action planning is designed to foster a sense of 'ownership' and commitment.

For the same reasons other members of the school community such as parents and governors should also be involved in these self-development processes to promote a commitment to communication and a sense of shared principles and objectives.
