When the staff noticed a developing trend of indiscipline within the school, they quickly developed an action plan to tackle it.
The plan included changes in the system for dealing with bad behaviour, undertaking work with pupils and outside agencies, a new database to monitor low-level bad behaviour and teachers being able to spend more time on behaviour support.
Senior pupils were trained sot hey could play a positive role in tackling the problem were instrumental in identifying areas that needed improvement.
As a result, exclusion figures have dropped by three quarters this session. The initiatives that had led to better behaviour have also led to better learning.
