Sleep Support

Sleep is one area that we find features a lot in the work that we do…so much so that we collaborated with The Sleep Charity (formerly the Children’s Sleep Charity) We now employ our own ‘Sleep Practitioner’ following their approach to sleep.

The benefits that a good quality night’s sleep can provide are seemingly endless. If your child struggles to get this good quality of sleep then this affects most aspects of their lives. This includes:

–              Behaviour and responses

–              Growth and development

–              Learning and memory

–              Emotional responses

–              Physical health

 

Our sleep practitioner is able to deliver 1-1 support to you as a parent as well as exploring the world of sleep for your child via the Sleep Charity website.

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

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
