Bishop Gilpin CE Primary School
~ Matt Ball (Head teacher)
So many of the comments [from staff] were really positive. It is still having an impact on my life daily and is definitely helping me to connect more effectively with my own children and with children in school. I am also finding it useful when talking to parents about their relationships with their own children. It's not often that school-based CPD is transformative in both personal and professional life, but your delivery of RAFT really has been both for me, thank you.
Primary Schools - Staff Feedback from RAFT Training
01
“Children do seem to be able to return to calmness more quickly and feel listened to and understood.”
02
“I have loved observing how all staff interact with children - it is so much child-centred and focuses on the behaviour and what that particular child may be experiencing and feeling as the reason for communicating in that way.”
03
“Significant improvement in behaviour across the school.”
04
“I seem to take my time now before dealing with an issue and have realised now that there is not an issue that needs to be resolved within the first minute. I feel less stressed each day.”
05
“I think more often about how my actions or the way I talk to children may impact their future behaviour.”
06
“I now think about the whole picture and difficulties that child may be facing including outside of school when addressing behavioural difficulties rather than one particular incident.”
07
“I feel I listen more. I am better at acknowledging the emotions and feelings children are exhibiting.”
08
“I feel I am having more time in having genuine
conversations with a lot more children. Issues get resolved quicker.”
09
“I found that more children are coming to me with their issues, due to how I deal with them.”
