What schools are saying about us
"We had a student whose poor social understanding led to constant, low-level disruption.... It was frustrating, because we knew he was bright, but we couldn’t reach him. Now we know how to channel his behaviours positively and help him regain his focus."
Gossey Lane Primary School
"Our behaviour audit was tailor made for our school and was efficient, practical and painless. It proved that behaviour in our school was good and captured stakeholder feedback objectively."
Court Farm Primary School
"We needed support that was quickly on hand. Emma helped us with key children and classes. Two children that were at risk of exclusion are now settled and have received no exclusions since we called Beacon."
Slade Primary School
"We were stuck and didn't know what else could be done to improve behaviour, especially for a small number of individuals... Emma gave us really clear ideas and direction. Now those students are better at managing their emotions [and] have fewer incidents on the playground. Beacon go above and beyond. Excellent service."
