Behaviour Management

One Behaviour Record for the Whole School

When behaviour lives in a teacher's notebook, nobody can see a pattern. SCL gives your school one catalog of merits and demerits, with the point values you choose, so a late arrival means the same thing in every classroom and every division.

The house points race in SCL for this school year, with each house's share of points, members and demerits, and the three top scoring students on a podium.
The SCL app on a parent's phone showing a child's merits, each with the reason, date, the teacher's own words, the teacher's name and the points earned.

Recording takes one screen. A teacher picks the behaviour, selects the students involved and adds the detail, and a single incident can cover a whole group at once. From there it moves from Pending to In Progress to Resolved, and resolving it requires writing down what was actually done about it. The whole thread stays on the student's record, with who logged it and when.

Positive behaviour is not just logged, it counts. Merits on resolved incidents feed the House Points leaderboard, which leadership reads as a school report, and it works alongside the badges and stickers teachers award day to day. Parents see their child's resolved incidents in the parent portal and the mobile app whenever your school chooses to show them.

Merits and Demerits

Build your own catalog of behaviours with the point value each one carries, positive or negative. Every teacher then picks from the same list, so a record means the same thing across the school.

Record an Incident

A teacher picks the behaviour, chooses the students involved and writes down what happened. One incident can cover several students at once, so a group is logged in a single entry rather than one by one.

Responses, Consequences

Keep a catalog of the responses your school actually uses, and tie each one to the merits and demerits it fits. Staff then see only the responses that make sense for the behaviour in front of them.

Pending to Resolved

Every incident moves from Pending to In Progress to Resolved, so open cases stay visible. Resolving one requires recording the action taken, which keeps the account of what happened from going missing.

What Teachers May Resolve

Choose which behaviours a teacher may close themselves and which have to reach a head of school. Everything else stays read-only for them, so a serious incident cannot be quietly resolved.

House Points

Merits on resolved incidents add to the student's house, and the leaderboard ranks houses across the year. Students open their own House Points page with the house race, a Roll of honour and their ranks, while the filters and the full leaderboard to export stay with staff.

SCL Today

The House Race and Wellbeing

A House Race for Assembly

Reports › Wellbeing & Behaviour › House Points shows each house's share of every point, its points per student and how many members take part, a monthly form guide and the school's top scorers. Every filtered view has its own address, ready to bookmark or put on the assembly screen.

Demerits Never Subtracted

Each house card shows its demerits beside its total, so conduct stays visible, but they never take points away. A house that had a difficult term still shows every point its students earned, and the race keeps its motivation.

Spot Struggling Students

Students log how they feel each day, from Great to Angry. The Mood Report breaks check-ins down by date, mood and educational level, Today's Mood on the dashboard counts who needs attention, and each profile shows a Sad or Angry streak and a Mood shift alert.

Incidents at a Glance

The Behaviour Overview chart on the admin dashboard counts incidents day by day as Pending, In Progress and Resolved. Click a day to open those incidents, so a backlog is seen and cleared before it grows.

Behaviour in Reports

Custom Reports can list behaviour records with their points, status and response, or add each student's behaviour score and incidents this year beside their house and class. Leadership filters, groups and charts the result and chooses which staff may open it.

Load Your Policy With AI

Give Claude or ChatGPT, connected through SCL Connect, your behaviour matrix and it adds every merit and demerit with its points and responses, saying first how many incidents a points change would re-score. Recording incidents this way stays off until the school switches it on.
