Teaching assistants are at the heart of school communities.

Through the everyday moments of encouragement, understanding and support, they help children develop confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging.

Today, we're celebrating and thanking teaching assistants everywhere for the invaluable role they play in helping children thrive.

Happy National Teaching Assistants' Day.

Staff can feel confident managing behaviour and still lose valuable teaching time to it.

When behaviour takes up a significant part of the school day, the question isn't just whether staff feel confident. It's whether they have the time, support and resources needed to respond effectively.

Our latest blog explores why looking beyond behaviour management can help create better outcomes for both children and educators.

Behaviour can look very different depending on where you're standing.

85% of leaders describe their school as calm and orderly most or every day. Only 51% of teachers agree.

Different experiences can create different perceptions, and those perceptions can shape behaviour conversations, relationships and culture across a school.

Join us for a free webinar as we explore the behaviour gap and discuss practical ways to build greater understanding and consistency across your setting.

Many teachers report feeling confident managing behaviour. Yet schools are still navigating the impact that repeated incidents can have on staff time, wellbeing and capacity.

Grief is now part of RSHE. But the bigger question for schools isn't just what to teach about grief. It's how to support children when they're living through it.

Every child experiences loss differently. Understanding what they need, noticing when something has changed and responding with care can make all the difference.

Read our latest blog to explore the new guidance and practical ways schools can support children experiencing grief and bereavement.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Creating a culture of care means looking out for one another beyond the surface level. Today, we're encouraging open conversations around mental health, empathy and seeking support whenever it's needed.
