Evidence pack for Headteachers

[.style-intro]This evidence pack is designed to support any school community that wants to create a calmer, safer, more focused environment for children – whether you’re a headteacher exploring the issue yourself or a parent sharing this with your school to help start the conversation.[.style-intro]

It brings together what the research is showing, what national bodies now recommend, and what schools across the country are already doing. You’ll find clear summaries of the policy options available, along with real examples from headteachers who have put these approaches in place – including the letters they sent, the questions they received, and the impact they’ve seen on behaviour, learning and wellbeing.

The aim isn’t to push a single solution. It’s to offer schools and families a practical, evidence-informed resource so you can choose the approach that fits your community – and ensure children have more of the things that matter most: attention for learning, space to play, and a school day that feels lighter and more connected.
