Sleuth for Admin Staff

Using Sleuth to track behaviour provides each and every member of staff with the information they need to fulfill the pastoral responsibilities of their role. The ability to record in detail allows you to analyse and report in detail which provides an opportunity to understand the underlying causes of behaviour and focus on finding solutions.

Whatever your role in school you can use Sleuth to search for and interrogate recorded data then use the results to develop strategies for intervention. Using Sleuth regularly throughout the school day lets you stay on top of behaviour and communicates progress and concerns to colleagues that will support them in their roles.

Some MySearch/MyReport suggestions that would be useful for a Admin staff appear below. A MySearch and MyReport can be run from your Sleuth Home Page in a single step (e.g. a click of the mouse).

Example MySearch for Admin Staff

  • My Outstanding Referrals - shows all outstanding issues requiring attention. Clicking this search will allow you to follow up each referral, for example by adding an action of your own
  • After School Detention List This Week - A register of all students in detention this week. Can be used as a register and to check parents have been contacted
  • Detentions Issued This Week - a list of detention issues this week with dates - can be used to reset dates, update after parental contact and schedule rota of staff supervising detention
  • Parents Contacted This Week - all student's whose parents have been contacted this week and/or those who require contacting this week
  • Rewards Issued This Week - the rewards issued this week

Example MyReports for Admin Staff

  • Print All This Weeks Detention Letters - Print a letter to parents for all detentions issued this week
  • Print All This Weeks Reward Letters - Print a letter to parents for all HoY/HoD reward letters issued this week

MySearch - Using Sleuth you can search for just the behaviour data you are interested in by selecting any of the detailed incident search criteria (e.g. for a particular year group, student gender, behaviour type, date or period). When you run a search Sleuth display the list of incidents/students that meet your criteria so you can view/update each individually. A search that you may want to run frequently can be saved, this is called a MySearch. Once saved it can be run from your Sleuth Home Page in a single step (e.g. click of the mouse).

MyReport - A MyReport in Sleuth is a report where you define the search criteria, how to order/breakdown the results (e.g. by year group, subject, date) and also the style of presentation to use to display the results of the search, (e.g. text, bar chart, line graph).

Reducing Teacher Workload
"The information in Sleuth has been valuable when working with students and parents. It has also contributed to our school policy of developing the role of Admin staff. As a Beacon school this is one area upon which we are focussing. We are listed on the DfES website as an exemplar in Admin Policy. The aim has been to lift the admin burden from teachers, and Sleuth has definitely helped."

Admin Support for Staff
"The administration team also have a role to play in supporting our use of Sleuth. For example they are responsible for managing the detention system and providing staff with student lists from Sleuth and they also manage our reward system"
Deputy Headteacher - Northants Secondary
Detention Management
"Our whole after-school detention system has been changed partly because it is so easy with Sleuth to see what detentions are set, how many, by whom, for what behaviours"
