Are you an experienced practitioner with a strong understanding of behaviour, regulation, and SEMH needs?

Our Pastoral Behaviour Support Leads are central to our behaviour-support model. Using their expertise in understanding behaviour as communication, they design and deliver individualised behaviour support strategies, interventions and programmes that promote emotional regulation, engagement with learning and positive relationships. 

Working closely with teaching staff, they provide proactive and reactive behaviour support, helping students to navigate challenges, reduce barriers to learning and develop safe, regulated ways of expressing their needs.
