Behaviour Hub
IFPT's Chepping View Primary Academy is a Behaviour Hub Lead School and actively engaged in working in partnership with other academies/schools to enhance their behaviour culture.
“A student’s experience in school remains one of the most insightful indicators of later life success… For many it is the best chance they will ever have to flourish. How they conduct themselves at school is crucial to that experience. Helping them develop good behaviour is therefore one of the most important tasks a school faces.”
– Tom Bennett, ‘Creating a culture’ report
The Behaviour Hubs programme supports school leaders by helping them to create calm, safe and supportive environments – with pupils in schools and ready to learn. Funded by the Department for Education, Behaviour Hubs has helped more than 650 schools and multi-academy trusts across all provisions to make sustainable and impactful changes to their behaviour culture.
The Behaviour Hubs programme offers a tailored support package aimed at improving behaviour in schools across England. It is a one-year programme (two years for multi-academy trusts) funded by the Department for Education, available to mainstream primary and secondary schools, special schools and alternative provisions.
Please note that Behaviour Hubs is currently closed to new applicants. However, the DfE are accepting expressions of interest from schools and MATs wishing to join any potential future cohorts of the programme.
Behaviour Hubs helps senior leaders to create the conditions for an effective and sustainable behaviour culture throughout their setting. The programme matches Partner Schools or MATs, who apply to receive support, with a Lead School or MAT that has an exemplary track record in behaviour management. Our Lead Settings work in close collaboration with their Partner Settings, identifying opportunities to improve behaviour culture and develop new behaviour policies that will ultimately lead to improved pupil outcomes.
All schools and MATs receive a grant of up to £9,000 at the end of their time on the programme, with the amount of funding proportionate to the time commitment for each support stream. This funding helps to fund travel, expenses, staff backfill and the implementation of their new behaviour strategies.
“It was so enlightening to meet many other staff with the same issues, concerns and challenges. It made me feel that our school is not an island.”
– Cohort 5 Partner School graduate
