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 behaviour and attendance in secondary schools 2005

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.

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 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.

Direct learning support in colleges: a survey of current practice

Many adults and 16- to 18-year-old learners in colleges need extra help to enable them to reach their full potential in their studies. In 2005/06 inspectors from Ofsted and the Adult Learning Inspectorate (ALI) evaluated the quality of the literacy, numeracy and language support learners receive in 29 colleges across the country. The colleges were selected because they had received good or better grades for their Skills for Life provision in a previous inspection.

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.

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.
