There is a strategic dilemma developing in pastoral work in schools. Do pastoral leaders deal with behaviour and pastoral issues or do we become leaders of learning? It's an exciting, demanding job. Can we do both? This practical course aims to bridge the gap and show how pastoral leaders can establish and maintain high achieving, self-sufficient teams that support positive behaviour for learning for ALL students - and still be able to work effectively and skillfully with those who cause concern.

Delegates will benefit from a pragmatic focus on further developing the skills and systems they will need to lead a team, establish positive behaviour, manage challenge from students, staff and parents - and keep the focus on learning.
