ABSTRACT
Schools are institutions for teaching and learning and the standards of these are increasingly being judged, not least by OFSTED (OFSTED, 1995d). Teaching and learning cannot take place if pupils in the group are behaving inappropriately. Effective teaching and learning is more likely to take place within an environment where all members of the school community understand, and work within, an effective whole-school behaviour policy based on a set of shared values and a positive ethos.
