Primary Behaviour Management Software

Your Primary School’s Solution for Effective Behaviour Management

When it comes to behaviour management applications, primary schools have traditionally been faced with limited choices. They’ve had to either opt for complicated, expensive software originally designed for the secondary education sector, packed with features they don’t require, or settle for basic applications adorned with colourful cartoon avatars, offering limited flexibility and lacking in-depth analysis.

But the game has changed with the introduction of IRIS Adapt. We’re proud to offer primary schools a robust behaviour management software solution that’s tailor-made for their unique needs. No more grappling with unwieldy software or breaking the bank for functionality you don’t need.

Helping schools respond to updated restraint and seclusion guidance

This is especially important following the updated guidance and regulations on restraint and seclusion from 1 April 2026 in England, which introduced new expectations around the recording and reporting of significant incidents involving force. For primary schools, that means clear, timely, consistent recording matters more than ever. A centralised system helps staff log incidents properly, support parent communication as soon as practicable, and avoid the confusion that can come from relying on paper records or separate systems.

The updated guidance also stresses the importance of informing parents as soon as practicable, preferably on the same day, when seclusion or physical intervention has been used. IRIS Adapt helps primary schools manage this in a way that suits their own internal processes. If a school wants communication to go out immediately, we can configure the system to send an email to parents automatically as soon as the incident is recorded. If senior staff need to review the incident first, we can also support an approval process so the email is only sent once it has been checked.

For schools that prefer to send information home in paper form, IRIS Adapt can also generate custom print templates that produce a note or letter detailing the intervention to go home the same day. This makes it easier to keep parents informed promptly, while ensuring communication is clear, consistent, and directly linked to the school’s incident record.

At Heathfield Primary and Nursery School in Nottingham, IRIS Adapt has become the go-to one-stop-shop for managing pupil data. In addition to the custom behaviour log, high-frequency low-level behaviour log, and positive handling log, the school has also incorporated various other custom features. These include a parent communications log, academic interventions log, and a range of pastoral support and referral forms.

A good example of the adaptability of IRIS Adapt is the integration of a custom staff leave request form. This feature ensures that school leaders are promptly alerted when a leave request is submitted. The staff member is then automatically emailed about the status of their leave request. This holistic approach not only streamlines the administrative process but also improves communication. A good example of how IRIS Adapt can be tailored to meet the specific needs of a dynamic school environment.
