Tired of being the first port of call when behaviour spirals out of control?

Then it's time to learn how to embed a proactive, whole-school strategy that reduces reliance on you (and your leadership team) to step in and “firefight" for your teaching staff.

In this session, you'll learn how to use the LEAD framework and Success Path approaches to equip your team to handle SEMH challenges at the classroom level, while building a more inclusive and resilient school culture.

This meeting isn't about quick fixes - it's about long-term solutions that restore calm and protect your time as a leader (so you can focus on other school improvement and strategic priorities again).

Learn from Fellow Headteachers Facing Similar Challenges

You're not alone in facing a rising tide of SEMH needs in schools - it's a nation-wide issue. (Fact: SEMH needs aren't just increasing in school, those needs are accelerating.)

That's why this session offers a unique opportunity to connect with other headteachers who truly understand the pressures you face... from managing dysregulated behaviour to meeting the competing demands of parents, staff, and students.

By learning from each other, you'll leave with actionable ideas, renewed confidence and a network of supportive peers to help you tackle SEMH issues with a clear plan for success.

Ofsted-Ready. Consistent. Confident.

This session aligns directly with Ofsted's 2025 framework - so every action you take strengthens your school's position on inclusion and SEND.

You'll learn how to equip staff to deliver "everyday high-quality inclusive teaching" in every classroom.

And you'll leave with a clear, practical plan to ensure your team can "systematically and skilfully adjust strategies" to meet pupils' needs – exactly as Ofsted expects.

Maximise your day with this impactful breakfast meeting

We know your time is precious - and that's why this event is designed to fit seamlessly into your busy schedule.

  • The 8.30am start means you can attend fresh, at the start of the day, without having to physically go into school first.
  • The 11.30am finish means you can head back to school afterwards, prepared to tackle the rest of the day with a fresh perspective (and with practical tools to support your staff and students).

Plus, the focused timing means no wasted moments - just impactful learning and networking with peers who understand your challenges.
