Ed Balls, Children Schools and Families Secretary has welcomed all the recommendations made by SIR ALAN STEER in His report “Learning Behaviour: Lesson Learned”.
In commenting on the report, Sir Alan said that although most children, teachers and schools do very well to tackle bad behaviour there is no room for complacency and bad behaviour cannot be left untouched. He went on to say that schools rated as satisfactory for behaviour have the potential to become great.
In thanking Sir Alan the Secretary of State commented “I am impressed by your insight into the key issues around behaviour in schools and your commitment to doing something about them.....”
