Study of Authoritative School Climate policies to reduce absenteeism and exclusion

1 min read

This study aims to explore the content of school behaviour policies and the effect that they have on attendance and exclusions among secondary school students.

The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) have funded the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) to work collaboratively with a small team from University College London on a study evaluating how school behavioural management policies impact non-attendance and exclusion rates on a sample of Year 9 students.

Schools in the UK must have a behaviour policy in place to outline their approach to addressing and responding to student behaviour. There is currently limited research in the UK exploring what school behaviour policies look like, and their impact on student attendance and exclusions.

The overall aim of the study is to explore whether there is evidence that school behaviour policies help reduce exclusions and improve attendance of secondary school students in England.
