On completion of an assessment, the scores of each individual student are compared to the standardised emotional literacy scores of 'competently functioning' children of a similar age group. Individualised, achievable targets for social and emotional aptitudes are then set for the student which are reviewed and re-assessed periodically. There are two sets of norms for the Boxall Profile - one for children (nursery/primary school pupils), and the other for young people (secondary school students). Whole-class dynamic - understanding trends in behaviour can support staff to create bespoke learning plans to support whole class learning Tracking progress - helping staff review children and young people's target behaviour Target setting and intervention - setting individualised, achievable targets that reinforce target behaviour and skills Understanding what lies behind their behaviour can help all teachers to be confident in understanding individual pupil's behaviour, and ultimately help them with managing their class dynamic, which is where the Boxall Profile comes in.Įarly identification assessment - supporting staff to develop their observational skills and their understanding of children and young people's difficulties Whatever the behaviour, the result is that they do not positively engage in education. Alternatively, they may engage in behaviour which is considered as 'acting out', disrupting others' learning, uncontrolled outbursts of destructive behaviour, put simply 'seeing red'. Instead, they show their discomfort through their behaviour, examples of which may include self-withdrawal, achieving much less than they could, not making good relationships. Many children in school are insecure about their worth and often may not be able to articulate their feelings.

The Boxall Profile is a two-part assessment tool designed to track the progress of cognitive development and behavioural traits of children and young people through their education. The two-part checklist, which is completed by staff who know the child and young person best, is quick - and, very importantly, identifies the levels of skills the children and young people possess to access learning. The Boxall Profile Online is, from a practical point of view, very easy to use and accessible. Boxall Profile Online provides such an overview as well as suggested strategies, targets and resources for effective support. 'Understanding the SEMH needs of pupils is absolutely essential in developing a wholeschool approach to improving mental health and behaviour in schools' (from Mental health and behaviour in schools, where Boxall Profile is also cited). You can access the assessment on our new website here. The Boxall Profile is an online invaluable resource for the assessment of children and young people's social, emotional and behavioural development in all educational settings.
