What is the Boxall Profile?
The Boxall Profile is useful for assessing the social, emotional, and behavioural improvement of children and younger adults. It was developed by psychologist Marjorie Boxall. It gives you an accurate picture of your student's strengths, as well as any difficulties that may be affecting their learning. This online checklist tool has become a go-to resource for SENDCos and provides users with objective insights that can be used for a range of purposes.
The two-part checklist,
completed by staff who know children and young people best, quickly
and, very importantly, identifies skill levels that children and young people must access with learning.
Many school-going children are uncertain of their worth and are often unable to express their feelings. Instead, they show their displeasure by withdrawing, performing far below their abilities, and failing to establish good relationships.
Others may express their anger and failure through small or large actions that disrupt the progress of others. Whatever the behaviour, as a result, they do not actively participate in education. The Boxall Profile is a useful aid for assessing the social, emotional, and behavioural improvement of youngsters and younger adults.

There are two Boxall Profile Tests -
one for children (kindergarten/elementary students)
and one for young students (high school students).

Finally, each child's score was compared with the literary-emotional benchmark scores of "competent" children of the same age group. Using this, goals for the child's social and emotional skills are assessed and re-evaluated.
Sections of Boxall Profile
It consists of these two sections:
Section I: Developmental Components
This section measures progress on different aspects of a child's development during the first years - the initial evaluation assesses how the child's learning experience is organized and juvenile.
Measuring different aspects of children's cognitive, social and emotional development.
And how It affects emotional development.
Section II: Diagnostic Profile
This section describes behaviours that inhibit or interfere with a child's satisfactory participation in school, self-limiting features, undeveloped behaviours, and underdevelopment.
They are a direct or indirect result of poor learning in the early years. The earlier these children are identified, the more hope there is that their social and emotional development isn't delayed.
And behavioural difficulties can be addressed and remedied by providing patient upbringing and support.
How a teacher can use Boxall Profile for the assessment of children
Individual student profiles are created from the teacher's evaluation.
Once the profile is created, both the sections (Development and diagnostics) must be considered together.
By observing both the section a teacher can identify areas of strength as well as areas where the student appear to be having difficulty
These strengths and areas of difficulty can be identified on close examination of the strand or histogram that are made in each section - developmental and diagnosis.

Teacher's reviews about Boxall Profile
Primary School Principal
"It has helped us locate a child in different areas of their development. It has given staff more insight, to ask where this behaviour is coming from?"
Primary teacher
"When we [evaluated] the whole school, there were kids who were stressed that ... we never worked with them because they seemed quiet and calm at school. But in reality, they had a lot of them. more than a deep problem.
What does it mean if my child is being assessed using the Boxall Profile?
If you are a parent or guardian and your child is assessed using the Boxall® profile, that will be the best option to understand and evaluate the social behaviour and mental health of your child.
If the teacher is using the Boxall profile it means that he is trying his best to understand where your child needs support and improvement so that he can fully concentrate on his work
If the scores are outside the normal range, this indicates that your child is struggling with some difficulties.
Which then allows their school to provide the appropriate supports to address these challenges.
By filling in the Boxall Profile for the whole class, the teaching staff has a better picture of the needs of SEMH their students.
They are aware difficulties hinder students' access to their learning and they can tailor their instruction to the needs of their students, make the program truly inclusive.
Once the common difficulties have been identified, staff can set whole class support for the social development and emotional skills of all their students.
The Boxall Profile and the Graduated approach to Nurture:
Boxall Profile is an essential part of classified and seated educational approach at all levels of the educational pyramid.
The Boxall profile is important in determining the level of support the student will receive:
Does the child need access to targeted interventions, such as foster groups,
Or if other nurturing interventions like joining a group at lunchtime/Afternoon club might be enough.
As the foundation of the degree approach, nurture recommends everyone schools and educational institutions screened SEMH of their students using Boxall Records, to ensure that all needs in the school are recognized and can be supported through early intervention.
