Partnership Design

• What is a behaviour and attendance partnership?

Overarching design principle for schools in a BA
partnership

• Schools in a geographical area need a shared
  vision which commits their staff and governors to
  work together to improve behaviour, tackle
  persistent absence and improve outcomes for
  pupils with challenging behaviour and attendance
  for the benefit of all pupils

• Formal commitment to a shared vision.
• Fair access protocols (hard to place pupils and
  managed moves).
• Access to high quality support and provision.
• Early intervention and agreed (LA) support.
• Local targets to meet required outcomes.
