TES - Pupil Tracking Feature - June 30th 2006

In the Friday supplement of the TES (30 June) sleuth is featured in an article on Pupil Tracking.

In the article Norman Lawrence, Deputy Headteacher at Lampton School in Hounslow, says of sleuth, "It's a good diagnostic system that has reduced the number of permanent and fixed-term exclusions dramatically."

Below is an excerpt from the featured case study from The Royal Manor School in Portland, Dorset in which Graeme Sawyer, Head of Learning Support, discusses the impact sleuth is having on their ability to manage behaviour.

"With one student, the data revealed that 85% of his negative behaviour occurred in lessons taught by female teachers. He hadn't accepted this until he was confronted with the pie chart. It was a great way into a conversation about why he respected male members of staff more than female. Some students don't realise the effect their behaviour is having on others and it can be a wake up call for them, too. We had one year 7 boy who didn't recognise his behaviour was any worse than his peers'. When we showed him a comparison table he was shocked and made a huge effort to improve."
