Adapt our template plan to meet your school's needs and to suit the age and interests of individual pupils.
In the plan you'll find:
- Prompts to help anyone working with the pupil to support their behaviour
- Space to provide a fuller picture of the pupil's personality
- A template behaviour log to record recent behaviour incidents
Our associate education expert Jeremy Bird helped us write this template.
