The Perryfields Outreach Team provides preventative behaviour support to the 113 primary, first and middle schools in South Worcestershire.
We deliver tailored programmes of support to our mainstream schools to promote positive behaviour management strategies and champion inclusive practice.
We are a team of experienced behaviour consultants with a track record of re-engaging permanently excluded and vulnerable learners. Each year we work with over 500 pupils in their mainstream settings.

‘The support given this term has been extremely useful and helped not only myself as SENCO, but also other members of staff and the Senior Leadership Team. With recent changes to the Local Authority services, I personally feel your behaviour support team is a strong reliable service which I am very happy we can access for support and advice.’
‘The outreach work of the staff is especially effective. When pupils have a place at Perryfields, outreach staff plan very successful induction and transition programmes that result in pupils having a calm, optimistic readiness for learning.’ – Ofsted
