Five Ways to Promote Positive Behaviour for Learning
Good morning,
What does it actually take to create a school where behaviour is not dependent on who happens to be teaching?
In the final episode of our behaviour mini-series, Elliot Heade and Jack Pattison take us inside the work that has transformed behaviour at St Peter’s in Cardiff. It is a conversation about consistency, culture and what changes when an entire school pulls in the same direction.
Hope you enjoy…

Curriculum in autumn…
Next Saturday, we begin a new three-part mini-series exploring curriculum, from the decisions that shape its design to the work required to make it live in classrooms.
Across the series, we explore how strong curricula are built and sequenced, how schools can think more strategically about curriculum change, and what happens when those decisions finally meet teachers and pupils in the classroom.
TDaPE Club members can listen to all three episodes from next Saturday, with each episode then released publicly over the following weeks.
TDaPE Online
There’s one week left to pick up tickets for TDaPE Online. Sales end on the 31st August. Links and info below.
A huge thank you to everyone who shared last week’s episode. TDaPE continues to grow through those small recommendations from one teacher or leader to another, and every share helps these conversations reach people who might otherwise never come across them. If this week’s episode makes you think of someone, I’d be very grateful if you passed it on.
That’s all from me for now. As always, I’d love to know what you made of the conversation, so feel free to leave a comment wherever you listen or simply reply to this email.
Until next time, thanks for listening.
