Behaviour Hub

Support, training and advice for schools and MATs who want to improve their behaviour culture.

What are Behaviour Hubs

The Department for Education (DfE) has launched a new initiative called the RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hubs, aimed at tackling persistent absence and poor behaviour in schools across England. Charles Dickens Primary School is delighted to be one of the first 21 hub schools.

Aim

These hubs are designed not just to fix problems, but to build resilience and long-term capacity within schools.

Support offer

The new RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hubs will support schools through a mix of direct intervention, shared expertise, and practical resources. 

Lead schools will deliver two support pathways:

1. Enhanced support:

This pathway is for schools which want and need more concerted support for attendance and behaviour. Eligible partner schools will receive 10 days of support over 3 terms from their allocated lead schools. This support will be based around helping the partner school understand its attendance/ behaviour strengths and areas for development, as well as developing and implementing an improvement plan.

2. Regional support:

Eligible partner schools will have access to a structured attendance and behaviour CPD offer, opportunities to visit the allocated lead school as part of a series of termly open day events, and opportunities to discuss and share effective practice with other schools in the hub. Each lead school will facilitate a network of 30-40 partner schools as part of this pathway. 

In addition to these pathways, the DfE will continue to deliver universal support and resources for attendance and behaviour for all schools through national best practice webinars, published effective practice, data tools and guidance. All resources will be made available on GOV.UK
