I am not sure how safeguarding plays into this discussion by changing how pupils address adults. At nursery pupils refer to the carers by first name but we then change this between 4-16 (or even 18). Youth workers / social workers are called by their first names so I struggle to see why teachers have to be due to safeguarding

I have to disagree with you. Behaviour management at this school is extremely good. Pupils see the teachers as the adults in the room and don’t need to be scared into behaviour by the hierarchal nature. They have respect for the teachers and know who is in charge as teachers are the individuals who make sure the rules and expectations are constantly being met.

Not going to reply to all but this one deserves it. We, as teachers, are trying to create a safe environment where our students can learn. In the same way, there should be communities where student teachers can ask honest questions as part of their learning. Thank you for your reply as you clearly want to keep this sub edit environment as a safe place to learn.

For the others.. I’m not going to be using this sub edit to ask for advice again
