Creating a Positive Environment for Learning: Improving Behaviour in Schools
'We have to ensure that standards of behaviour are found in all our schools. Good behaviour is non negotiable; it is not a take it or leave it part of education. Without it teachers are unable to do their job properly and children spend what should be a happy and exciting time being bored and frightened."
Charlie Taylor, Expert Advisor on Behaviour to the Secretary of State for Education
