Turn Your School Round: A Circle-time Approach to the Development of Self-esteem and Positive Behaviour in the Primary Staffroom, Classroom and Playground

Think of a primary school with:

• a positive way to end bullying, name-calling and aggressive behaviour
• a committed staff who feel part of a valued, effective team
• happier, friendlier lunchtimes run by respected supervisors
• supportive, involved parents.

That's possible when using Jenny Mosley's regular Circle Time sessions.

This well-established best-selling book gives you a clear picture of the Quality Circle Time approach, with emphasis on the need for this to be a Whole School Policy. Clear illustrated sections give guidelines for the management team and for involving staff groups and parents. "Turn Your School Round" is as relevant today as it was when it was first published and has had a huge impact on schools with its emphasis on the idea of circle time for everyone: staff, parents, midday supervisors and, of course, children.

Examples from schools using Jenny’s approach bring the ideas to life and A4 photocopiable pages make light work of handouts for a range of circle meetings for adults and pupils. A really practical, useful book.
