A study of children and young people who present challenging behaviour - literature review

This literature review was commissioned – by Ofsted as part of a large-scale survey to inform the report Managing challenging behaviour. Ofsted commissioned the University of Birmingham to carry out this research to inform subsequent fieldwork.

Attendance in secondary schools

Ofsted undertook a survey of attendance in 31 secondary schools in the summer and autumn terms 2006. Ofsted and the Department for Education and Skills (now the Department for Children, Schools and Families) were concerned about 351 secondary schools whose overall absence or unauthorised absence rates were unsatisfactory. The survey evaluated the impact of the National Strategy in promoting attendance and identified critical factors in reducing and preventing attendance problems in secondary schools.

You can download a leaflet summarising the findings and a briefing note that provides further evidence and recommendations.

Evaluation of the impact of learning support units

The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) defines the purpose of learning support units (LSUs) as 'school-based centres for pupils who are disaffected, at risk of exclusion or vulnerable because of family or social issues'. This report is based on a survey of the impact of LSUs, carried out by Her Majesty's Inspectors and Additional Inspectors. Between autumn 2005 and summer 2006, inspectors visited 12 units in secondary schools. All 12 of the units inspected were successful in improving the behaviour and attendance of their pupils.

Good practice in re-engaging disaffected and reluctant students in secondary schools

This report draws on a survey of 29 secondary schools, including one academy and one pupil referral unit, to identify sustained good practice in re-engaging disaffected students in their learning. The report illustrates the good practice in the schools visited and what might be achieved by others when reviewing support for disaffected students. The report emphasises the importance of also engaging parents and carers in supporting young people.

Improving attendance and behaviour in secondary schools 2001

This report is based upon the findings of the inspections carried out by Ofsted at the request of the Secretary of State for Education and Employment during 1999/2000. The purpose of the report is to analyse the action taken by schools to address serious problems of attendance and behaviour and to establish how this action relates to other elements of school improvement.

Improving behaviour

This report is based on the progress made in 2005 and 2006 by secondary schools which had been judged to have unsatisfactory behaviour following routine institutional inspections. Her Majesty's Inspectors' monitoring visits to these schools tell a good story. Schools can reduce low-level disruptive behaviour in a reasonably short time using simple strategies, if everyone uses them.

Improving behaviour and attendance in primary schools

The Behaviour Improvement Programme, funded by the DfES, aims to reduce non-attendance and exclusion while improving pupils' behaviour. It targets schools serving complex catchment areas. Ofsted inspectors have, over a two-year period, monitored the development of the programme. These leaflets focus on what has been most effective where there is room for improvement.
