ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What do the latest behaviour, SEND and attendance statistics actually tell us about what’s happening in schools?
In this episode, you’ll explore five recent figures that raise important questions about suspensions, SEND support, attendance and the pressures facing school staff. You’ll hear why headline data can hide what’s really happening underneath, why pupils on SEN Support may need closer attention and why behaviour data is most useful when it leads us to better questions rather than quick conclusions.
You’ll learn:
• Why primary suspension rates are moving differently to the national picture
• What the suspension figures for pupils on SEN Support and with EHCPs might be telling us
• Why attendance data for autistic pupils needs careful interpretation
• How wider pressures on staff and families affect behaviour in school
• Three questions school leaders can use to look beneath their own headline data

We offer free, in-person training to help heads, deputies and MAT leaders move from reacting to SEMH problems to having a clearer, strategic approach across their schools. Just provide the venue and leaders from at least 15 schools - and we’ll do the rest. Email support@beaconschoolsupport.co.uk to find out more.
