3. Risk of Exclusion Audit Apologies for the time of year / lack of notice Started small and simple with that in mind It is likely to expand to cover other year groups and support more sophisticated analysis in future We may ask for the names (via a more secure transfer) in the autumn to cross reference to the PIP information This audit will provide a baseline and the information will support planning for better ways to support early intervention Please return by end of August Thank you!

4. Re-Integration Protocol The lack of a protocol is a gap identified by the Primary Inclusion Panel Currently re-integrations are organised on an ad-hoc basis based on parental preference, available places and phone calls. The proposed protocol is based on the secondary equivalent with some differences – o Receiving school only takes one pupil per year o Parents will be asked for three choices of school o Y6 pupils will be jointly registered with the Primary Inclusion Centre until they make the transition into KS3

5. Re-Integration Protocol An independent panel (HTs and LA) will meet every half term Prior to panel they will have – o Visit to PIC to see the child by an experienced HT o Completion of ‘readiness for re-integration’ analysis tool o Package of support and action plan designed by PIC to maximise the chance of success (including at least four weeks of outreach from PIC) Currently the Primary Inclusion Centre is working beyond its capacity and has children who are ready for re-integration PIP want to bring attention to this and gain approval for this protocol

14. What is peer mediation?

They use a simple structured 5 step process to help people find a solution Different to mentoring and playground friends

15. Why? ‘Its made it a safer place and there aren’t so many arguments because if an argument starts its more likely to get sorted out quicker and we’ve got better lessons because the lessons aren’t taken up by teachers trying to sort out what happened at playtimes and dinnertimes’. Holly, Y6, Arbourthorne Primary 2015

16. Why? meet Ofsted requirements promote SMSC prepare pupils for modern life in Britain by promoting values such as empathy, fairness and respectmodern life in Britain develop and enhance enquiry and critical thinking skills improve pupil engagement strengthen school ethos and values support teacher professional development and behaviour management.

17. Why? Headteachers: main message that it frees up more learning time after breaks staff begin to understand that children can resolve issues between themselves older pupils act as effective role models break times are calmer children often prefer to talk to other children UN Committee on Rights of the Child re UK recommends: …improving students’ conflict resolution skills, conducting regular monitoring of incidences of bullying at school, and involving children in the initiatives and monitoring aimed at eliminating bullying
