Rescue Our Schools wants extreme behavioural policies to be taken seriouslyÂ
We are parents who believe that state-educated children deserve to attend schools where behaviour is managed well, without resorting to extreme, highly punitive policies.
This issue is not getting the attention it deserves, so we’re platforming the voices of students, families and teachers to raise awareness of the types of damage that can be done by excessive, standardised behavioural policies .
And we want to raise the standard of debate around behaviour too, exploring what it takes for a school to get their disciplinary approach ‘right’.
We want to hear from people on the frontline – your stories are crucial in this campaign – so please write to us with your experiences at info@rescueourschools.co.uk
OUR GOAL
For government to scrutinise the drivers behind extreme behavioural policies and introduce the reforms needed to ensure that no more children are treated this way.
These would include: democratic oversight of schools to ensure appropriate behavioural policies; adequately resourcing classrooms with highly trained, consistent staff and removing the damagingly data-driven approach to education.
