Let's Make Lunchtimes Amazing
Three vital elements of a happy lunchtime...
PLAY
Keep things fresh...
A practical and easy system of ever-changing ideas to maximise engagement.
Something for everyone.
A great way to help the whole lunchtime team create engagement and positivity.
RELATIONSHIPS AND BEHAVIOUR
Positive and pro-active first...
A proven system that integrates with your whole school policy.
An emphasis on positivity, fairness, high expectations and calm consistency.
Helps develop positive character traits and appropriate lunchtime behaviours.
ORGANISATION
A bespoke plan for your school...
Every school is a unique combination of staff, space, opportunities or challenges.
SLT, lunchtime staff and pupils all contribute to a bespoke plan with 20+ quick wins!
Wet play, dining hall, use of space, staffing, positive parents-and much MORE!
Complete Approach
Behaviour, play, practical organisation, and staff development all brought together in one clear, joined-up framework.
SLT, lunchtime staff and pupils share a common purpose built on positivity.
Staff before stuff
Just as great teaching matters more than classroom resources, positive lunchtimes depend on skilled, confident, motivated staff.
Training and clear systems create engagement, variety, positivity, and great behaviour-equipment alone can't
Practical
Every aspect of the work is built around clear practical systems that all staff implement consistently. This clarity helps SLT ensure ongoing effectiveness and monitoring.
When new staff start they are easily inducted into the routines and positive culture.
Inspirational Training
The best ideas in the world are nothing if they never leave the training room.
The training includes a live demonstration during lunchtime which leaves the lunchtime staff inspired, keen, and ready to go. All training is delivered directly by Steve Harris, who has 15 years experience in what works to make lunchtimes amazing.
Built to last
When you invest in staff training you want it to last. Steve has developed a whole series of simple and practical mechanisms that help ensure that the benefits of both the play and behaviour systems continue to be felt for years after the initial training-even when new staff take up the role.
