Building Calm, Connected Classrooms in Primary Education
Timian’s BILD Act Certified training programmes gives primary schools teachers, SENCOs and support staff the tools they need to respond calmly and confidently, helping to create safer, more nurturing learning environments from early years to Key Stage 2.
Tailored Training for Primary School Challenges
From early signs of distress to full-blown crisis, primary-aged pupils present behaviour in developmentally unique ways.
Our positive behaviour management courses emphasise non restrictive de‑escalation techniques, classroom behaviour management, and trauma-informed practice in schools. The focus isn’t on exclusion or punishment, it’s on support, understanding, and safe, respectful intervention, reflecting the realities of Key Stage 1 and 2 classrooms.
Our approach is built around the reality of primary education:
- Young children often communicate distress through behaviour, not words.
- Staff wear many hats, balancing teaching, regulation, and emotional support.
- Schools may lack in-house expertise for crisis management, restraint reduction, or trauma-informed care.
- Behavioural incidents can escalate quickly without clear, consistent, developmentally appropriate responses.

Empower
Give your team the tools to respond calmly and confidently to behaviour that challenges. Our approach helps primary staff build stronger relationships, reduce incidents, and create safer, more nurturing classrooms.
Reduce Incidents. Improve Confidence. Protect Learning Time.
For schools looking to embed this expertise in-house, our Positive Behaviour Management Train-the-Trainer programme enables staff to cascade training internally. That means more consistency, more confidence, and long-term cultural change, without being dependent on external providers.
- Build strong, trusting relationships through everyday interactions.
- Recognise that behaviour is often a form of communication — not defiance or disruption
- Reduce reliance on restrictive interventions
- Recognise and respond to the stages of escalation
- Build early intervention strategies rooted in real classroom scenarios
- Establish a shared, whole-school approach that aligns with values and supports behaviour that challenges in a calm, consistent manner.
