The first few lessons with a new class can be the most important. If rules, routines and relationships are established clearly, there's a good chance the year will go smoothly. In this podcast, teachers from three different secondary schools discuss what's worked well for them in the past.

Taking part in the discussion are:

• Adam Creen, head of post-16 maths at Salesian College in Surrey

• Mel tweets as @Just_Maths
