Lunchtime Supervisor Training
Calmer lunchtimes. Confident staff. Consistent expectations. Delivered in your school in a morning or afternoon — and backed by a full satisfaction guarantee.
The part of the school day that gets the least training.
Lunchtime is often the most challenging part of the day — and the least supported. Supervisors are expected to manage behaviour with minimal training, no consistent system, and limited backup from leadership.
The result: staff who aren't sure what to do, pupils who know it, and lunchtimes that set the wrong tone for the afternoon.
We've delivered this training in over 500 schools across the UK. The difference is usually immediate.
What's included
- A brief pre-session conversation with leadership to agree expectations and context
- 90-minute training session for your whole lunchtime team — no limit on numbers
- Clear, agreed expectations for lunchtime behaviour — written down, not just discussed
- Practical strategies for managing behaviour calmly and consistently
- De-escalation techniques that work without shouting, nagging or guesswork
- A refresher on the safeguarding role lunchtime staff play
- A lunchtime observation and short written report with specific improvement tips
We want leadership in the room too. Shared language and shared standards are what make this stick.
How the day works
We come to you. You choose the slot that suits your school.
Leadership conversation
A short, focused conversation to understand your school, agree on what good lunchtime behaviour looks like, and make sure the training fits your context.
Staff training
Around 90 minutes with your lunchtime team. Practical, fast-paced and genuinely enjoyable. We cover expectations, responses, de-escalation and safeguarding.
Lunchtime observation and report
We watch a lunchtime in action and provide a short written report with specific, high-impact suggestions for improving flow, reducing conflict and raising standards.
What schools say
"The impact was instant and massive. Our lunchtime staff are now very clear and very confident about how to promote the best behaviour and how to respond when they don't get it."Richard Yates, Headteacher — West Drayton Primary School
A great way to see the Future Behaviour approach in action
Many schools book lunchtime supervisor training as a first step. It's a focused, low-commitment way to experience how we work — and most come back for whole-school training.
That's not an accident. The same principles that make lunchtimes calmer are the ones that transform classroom behaviour. This session gives you a clear sense of whether the approach is right for your school.
No risk. No small print.
Train as many staff as you like. If the session isn't exactly what you hoped for, you won't pay. No questions asked.
