The Department for Education has appointed 28 more schools and eight multi-academy trusts to its behaviour hubs programme. The £10 million scheme, led by government behaviour tsar Tom Bennett, involves schools and trusts helping their peers “diagnose issues and implement new behaviour approaches”. The DfE said almost 700 schools will receive support between 2021 and 2024, including training by expert advisers and access to networking events and open days. The newly appointed trusts and schools all demonstrate “exceptional behaviour culture”, the DfE said. Schools minister Robin Walker said they had a “wealth of experience and expertise”, adding: “Helping schools to create calm, orderly, safe and supportive environments is key to levelling up education for children and young people.” New MAT hubs Aquila Diocese of Canterbury Academies Trust and St Mary of Charity CofE (Aided) Primary School, KentCabot Learning Federation and Begbrook Primary Academy, BristolChiltern Learning Trust and Challney High School for Boys, LutonCity of London Academies Trust and City of London Academy Shoreditch Park, LondonFlying High Trust and Mapplewells Primary and Nursery School, NottinghamshireGreat Schools Trust and King’s Leadership Academy Warrington, CheshireLeo Academy Trust and Manor Park Primary Academy, SuttonThe Sea View Trust and Tor View School, Lancashire New primary hubs Alston Primary School, Leigh Trust, BirminghamThe Beacon Church of England Primary School, Liverpool Diocesan Schools Trust, LiverpoolBeaumont Primary Academy, South Pennine Academies, HuddersfieldBroadclyst Community Primary School, Cornerstone Academy Trust, ExeterDunstall Hill Primary School, Perry Hall Multi-Academy Trust, WolverhamptonHardingstone Academy, East Midlands Academy Trust, NorthamptonInce CE Primary & Nursery School, WiganMarine Academy Primary, The Ted Wragg Multi Academy Trust, PlymouthSpring Grove Junior Infant and Nursery School, HuddersfieldTennyson Road Primary School, Tennyson Learning Community, LutonWansbeck Primary School, The Hull Collaborative Academy Trust, Hull New secondary hubs Allerton High School, LeedsCromer Academy, Inspiration Trust, NorfolkThe Duston School, The Duston Education Trust, Northampton (all-through school)The Market Bosworth School, NuneatonMoor End Academy, South Pennine Academies, HuddersfieldPudsey Grammar School, 21st Century Learning Partnership, LeedsSt James School, Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust, ExeterSt Patrick’s RC High School, SalfordWingfield Academy, New Collaborative Learning Trust, RotherhamWorthing High School, South Downs Education Trust, West Sussex
Elinor Kershaw 2 April 2022 I’m shocked that Cabot in Bristol are part of it since they have an appalling approach to behaviour in some of their own schools and clearly do not support staff to address behaviour in an effective way. Most of my kid’s lessons are disrupted by the behaviour of others or by bad examples of staff ill equipped to support a class they are unfamiliar with.
