Primary school leaders:
You're not on your own. School intakes are changing rapidly with record numbers of pupils arriving at our gates with complex SEND needs.
In fact, data from the Department for Education, shows that SEND needs aren't just growing... but that growth is accelerating.
You can see this for yourself, in your school, with:
Schools are now seeing:
Because these factors directly impact on your ability to lead in school:
Here are just some of the financial costs:
Rising teacher absence and supply cover expenses
When staff are overwhelmed by the demands of managing SEMH pupils, staff absences increase, forcing you to rely on costly supply teachers. Over time, these expenses pile up, eating into funds that could be invested in permanent, long-term solutions to the problem.
Cost: Every day a teacher is sick can cost £200 or more in supply cover.
High staff turnover and recruitment costs
Burnt-out teachers and support staff are also more likely to leave, leading to recruitment costs piling up, year after year. Each new hire demands time and money for onboarding and training (not to mention the disruption to the continuity of your students' learning).
Cost: Recruitment and induction can cost £3000 per staff member, let alone the lost time involved in sifting CVs, interviewing and onboarding new staff.
Standards fall, your reputation suffers and students leave
If SEMH challenges aren’t addressed, declining academic results quickly follow, leading inevitably to falling pupil numbers. Fewer students means lower funding, creating a vicious cycle of ever-more limited resources and growing challenges.
Cost: Every pupil who leaves your school takes at least £7460 worth of funding with them.
In short? Ignoring growing SEMH needs and challenges in your school simply isn't a viable option.
To meet changes in SEMH demand, most schools resort to:
In the past, these approaches may have been enough, but larger numbers of children with complex needs have changed the game.
Behaviour 360 gives you instant access to flexible, on-demand training...
...that equips your teachers, TAs, school leaders, lunchtime supervisors AND parents...
...to feel calm, capable, and confident in supporting pupils with SEMH needs...
...and get them all pulling in the same direction with SEMH in your school!
The Strategy Hub is like your school's go-to "instruction manual" for supporting your students with their social, emotional, and mental health needs in the classroom.
With over 250 step-by-step videos, it's packed with strategies and insights your staff can start using immediately to help pupils feel calmer, happier, and more engaged in their learning.
The Strategy Hub covers topics like anxiety, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), trauma-informed practice, Emotionally-Based School Avoidance (EBSA) and more.
No more waiting for external agencies or delays in getting support. The Strategy Hub feels like having an SEMH expert to refer to in your school 24/7, ready and waiting, whenever your staff need them.
Virtual twilights give you the ability to host a whole-staff training session whenever you need to, without the expense or hassle of booking external presenters.
With virtual twilights, you gather your staff, just as you would for a live training session with a in-person presenter, but the training is delivered through pre-recorded videos. Each video introduces a topic, and then your staff work together in groups to complete tasks, share ideas, and discuss solutions.
And because these sessions are delivered online, you can use these resources to train staff who couldn't attend the joint session, or as part of your staff induction to get new members of the team up to speed.
All your virtual twilights are structured, collaborative, and easy to run... and a great way of building knowledge and whole-school consistency around specific areas of SEMH in your school.
Imagine a behaviour expert dropped into your school to guide your lunchtime supervisors through just one, simple positive behaviour strategy for 10 minutes, and then encouraged them to go out and use it with your pupils.
And then continued to visit your supervisors every three weeks for the next 2 years, giving them a steady flow of reminders and new strategies, building up their skills and confidence. So you see a sustainable, long-term impact in your dining room and playground.
Successful Supervisors is the on-demand, always-available version of that bite-sized, step-by-step approach, and it's about to transform your lunchtime supervisors... into lunchtime behaviour superheroes!
Turning your lunchtimes into a structured, positive part of the school day, benefiting your pupils, supervisors and teaching staff alike.
Family First is like a personal guide for parents, giving them practical strategies to support their child's emotional wellbeing, available 24/7.
Over 12 weeks, parents learn practical ways of helping their children manage big emotions - all while building their own confidence AND using the same strategies your staff use in school.
Because Family First is delivered through on-demand videos, the programme is completely flexible, so you can bring parents together for group sessions, or let them watch at home on their own schedule. The choice is yours.
The videos are short and easy to follow, meaning your parents never feel overwhelmed, with every session designed to make your families' lives run more smoothly and lock in their long-term success.
Picture having a roadmap that makes leadership decisions on behaviour and SEMH easier - and equips you with the tools to create real, lasting change in your school.
Our leadership support resources will help you create a more positive learning environment in school, empower your staff to handle difficult situations, and ensure your school is proactive (rather than reactive) with SEMH.
Meaning you'll finally feel confident leading your team through today's challenging behaviour and SEMH issues.
The result? You'll make a whole-school impact, save time, reduce stress, and foster a culture of continuous improvement across the whole school.
You'll have everything you need to...
But most of all, you'll feel proud of championing an inclusive learning environment, where every child (and adult!) feels safe, supported and can thrive.

Once you've registered, you can access your videos through the members area of our website. We'll email you your login details immediately after you register.
No, we have teachers from around the world using Behaviour 360 every day.
No. Behaviour 360 is more like a flexible library of training materials on a range of SEMH topics. (However, Successful Supervisors and Family First can be used as step-by-step training programmes, if that's how you choose to implement them.)
Yes, and we're currently in the process of updating our courses so you can see specific references to the evidence we're basing our material on.
No, we don't dictate a one-size-fits-all method. We believe every school's approach to behaviour should reflect its unique context, values, staff, pupils and history. Whether you lean toward trauma-informed or traditional methods, Behaviour 360 offers resources to help you explore the pros, cons, and outcomes of each approach, and provides strategies for embedding your chosen method successfully into the school.
We provide written trackers, reflective practice logs and certificates to get everyone on board and keep them engaged. We've found the reflective practice logs in particular have been effective in helping staff translate what they've seen in the videos into classroom practice.
Behaviour 360 contains training on a wealth of SEMH, classroom management and behaviour topics. If you want to be sure before you buy, book a friendly, no-obligation chat with one of our staff. You can tell them more about your school's needs and goals on a Zoom call, and we'll help you see whether Behaviour 360 is a good fit for you.
Yes. Behaviour 360 is all about best practice for SEMH, aligns with Ofsted's requirements and can help you meet inspection standards, support your school's overall performance and help you implement a systematic positive approach to supporting your pupils.
SEMH challenges are likely already costing your school £1000s in teacher absences, burnout, and staff turnover. Think of Behaviour 360 as a way to redirect funds away from reactive spending, like supply cover, towards proactive solutions that address the causes of SEMH issues. By investing in this programme, you'll also use your Pupil Premium budget more effectively to drive long-term improvements and support those pupils who need it the most.
The truth is, positive change always involves an up-front investment in time. But by investing some time today, and helping your pupils become calmer and more regulated, you're buying your future self more time to focus on other important school priorities.
