About Us

Supporting Pupils with SEMH Difficulties in Bassetlaw

B.P.B.P. is a not-for-profit partnership supporting pupils (and families) with SEMH difficulties in Bassetlaw Primary schools.

Through operation of this behaviour partnership, we are identifying and developing support that schools need in place to best meet the needs of identified SEMH pupils. Together we can target resources in a more proactive and preventative way.

We support 54 Bassetlaw Primary Schools (representing some 10,000 pupils) from across the district, working in a multi-agency capacity.

Our experienced team support teachers, TAs, Head Teachers, Parents, medical professionals and most importantly, children!

Key to our purpose is the reduction in exclusions. We believe that by working together, children’s needs can be quickly identified and met meaning that they achieve their full potential.

We are a non-for-profit partnership supporting pupils with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties in Bassetlaw Primary schools.

Paperwork

A pack containing the following documents prepared and sent to parent/carer and Governors:

  1. A letter inviting the parents to the hearing (including a link to the DfE Suspension and Permanent Exclusion Guidance and Notts advice for parents)
  2. Letter informing parents of the Permanent Exclusion
  3. Headteacher’s / principal’s Report
  4. Anonymised witness statements (if relevant)
  5. An order of hearing
  6. Academy / school’s behaviour policy

Ensure that the pages of the pack are numbered consecutively and the report paginated.

Discipline Committee HT report

The chair of the committee will read from the agenda (annotated one provided if needed). Part of the hearing is for the HT to ‘make a case’ for the exclusion. It is imperative that this is presented in a manner that ensures that guidance and the law, has been followed. Please click below for an example.

Investigation (sub notes)

  • In respect to the incident / proposed exclusion, the HT (or SLT member in the HT absence) needs to undertake a detailed investigation. Do not pre-empt the outcomes of this investigation. Use pupil and staff interviews and record carefully what has happened. If staff compile a witness statement, ensure these are signed and dated by both the person compiling it AND a witness to the date / time it was written.
  • Once this investigation is concluded, progress to step 2
