Knowle C of E Primary "Lunch Brunch"

Knowle C of E Primary "Lunch Brunch" - "The so-called 'Lunch Bunch' scheme is the result of a survey head teacher Jenny Godsall conducted when she arrived at Knowle CE Primary School in April 2004. She decided to ask staff about their concerns and KS2 teachers reported some issues with behaviour. "Although this is certainly a good school, and any issues are relative," Jenny says, "we identified some lunchtime behaviour problems and began to see how these had an impact on teachers time and children's emotional readiness to learn in the afternoon." Jenny found that there were signs of trouble among year 5 and 6 boys, roaming and looking for mischief on the playground. "Essentially, they were bored and didn't know what to do with themselves.""
