This week, Schools Week featured an article highlighting the record rise in school suspensions across England. Carlton Bolling proudly contributed, showcasing how the school has managed to maintain impressively low suspension numbers despite being located in an area with high levels of organised crime and deprivation.
Mr. Mezal, Assistant Head, and Mr. Ingham, Deputy Head for Behaviour, shared insights into the school’s approach. They attributed the success to strategic investments in behaviour teams, with two non-teaching specialists assigned to each year group to support teachers. They also emphasised the school’s decision to avoid a blanket approach to sanctions, opting instead for tailored solutions that meet the needs of individual students.
Mohammed Azum, Head of School, commented: “It’s fantastic to see our school culture and the processes we have in place around behaviour management being recognised. Special thanks go to both Mr. Ingham and Mr. Mezal for their brilliant impact in this area.”
