What To Say To A Pupil After A Behaviour Incident
Episode 291
Sunday, 18 October, 2026
After a difficult behaviour incident, how do you rebuild your relationship with a pupil who's sworn at you, become aggressive or stormed out of your classroom? And whose responsibility is it to make the first move? In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, you'll discover why repairing adult-pupil relationships isn't just important for the child - it's also in your own professional interests. You'll learn why pupils who've experienced trauma, or who have certain SEND needs, may find it particularly difficult to reconnect after a confrontation, and why waiting for them to initiate that repair can make things worse. You'll also discover four practical ways to rebuild your relationship with a pupil, including what to say the next time you see them, how to reconnect without a formal restorative conversation and how to maintain clear boundaries without damaging trust. Plus: Why a pupil ignoring your attempts to reconnect doesn't necessarily mean relationship repair has failed.
