The Leeds headteacher who banned shouting and created a football inspired behaviour system

A Leeds headteacher has revealed adults and pupils are BANNED from shouting at his school - but he has broken his own rule a couple of times.

Chris Dyson became head of Parklands Primary School, in Seacroft, in September 2014 and he knew he wanted the school to become a “calmer place”.
