HFL Education offers a tailored and creative approach to behaviour management across all educational phases in mainstream and special schools.
We work collaboratively with schools to enhance skills and empower staff and other stakeholders by providing support that addresses specific challenges in individual schools by focusing on practical and effective approaches.
What are the benefits of working with HFL to improve your behaviour management in school?
The support we provide for behaviour management within your school or setting is designed to improve staff confidence in how they respond to unproductive behaviours, enabling them to intervene in the right way at the right time.
Our behaviour management support is strategic and inclusive, which enables schools to adopt and embed approaches to best suit the needs of staff, pupils and their wider communities.
We focus on encouraging a growth mindset, self-efficacy, and self-regulation and resilience through wellbeing approaches to support effective learning and achieve the right outcome through a class coaching process.

What does a whole school behaviour review involve?
Our experienced advisers start by thoroughly reviewing your school’s website and policies before visiting the school. We then focus on uncovering key findings through detailed discussions and observations. This allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your school's current practices and desired outcomes.
The process includes:
-
Advance scrutiny of your website and relevant policies
-
Initial briefing from headteacher, SLT lead and governor on the current approach to behaviour management in school and its impact
-
In-depth discussion with the behaviour/pastoral lead on processes, intent, and impact evidence
-
Engagement with pupil and parent perspectives
-
Review of evidence for processes, monitoring, and reporting
-
Assessment of effective use of resources, staff confidence levels, and training
-
Exploration of curriculum content supporting the behaviour policy (PSHE/RSHE lead and/or mental health lead)
-
School tour to observe lessons and gather pupil insights
Concerned about a behaviour incident?
We are able to provide telephone and remote digital support for any schools, academy trusts or other settings who need advice or guidance in the event of concerns over a specific behaviour incident.
Behaviour Leadership Programme
The Behaviour Leadership Programme is designed to support settings to further enhance their behaviour practices. By drawing on expert research and practitioners, it explores how changes in behavioural approaches can better support the needs of the whole school and wider communities. The needs and challenges of each of our settings is different and this programme is designed to meet you where you are on your journey to improving behaviour in your setting.

I have been teaching since 1991 and I can honestly say that this is some of the best CPD I have ever done. I have no doubt that the work that we will do in school as a result will have a significant impact on our whole school community. Thank you very much!

It was a good opportunity to highlight the strengths and identify what was working well, and receive support and strategies to move the school forward. I felt listened to and felt the adviser had a good understanding of my school, staff, and children. The advice was very good and I'm certain to put things into practice as I continue to work on our school priorities.

Overall, a helpful course, with a really positive overtone. I came away feeling that I could make good changes without feeling overloaded.

[Advisers] are empowering staff to lead on changing the environment and routines... It is definitely having an impact on the behaviours and the staff ability to effectively manage and work with those behaviours. They are very enthusiastic about what they can do and have put a number of your ideas in place quickly.
