Behaviour Hubs

The Department for ´óÏã½¶ÊÓÆµ's flagship behaviour programme

What was Behaviour Hubs?

The Behaviour Hubs programme supported 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 ´óÏã½¶ÊÓÆµ, Behaviour Hubs helped more than 660 schools and multi-academy trusts across all provisions to make sustainable changes to their behaviour culture.

Schools and MATs that joined the programme received behaviour support in four different ways:

  • Lead School support - Selected for their own exemplary track record in behaviour culture, 50 Lead Schools and 10 Lead MATs provided one-to-one support to each setting they were matched with. This included mainstream, special and alternative provisions.
  • Training modules - A series of online training sessions led by a team of expert behaviour advisers, vital to the success of building sustainable behaviour practices.
  • Open days - Termly open days allowedÌýsenior leaders to observe exemplary behaviour culture in action, and pick up ideas that could be adapted for their own setting.
  • Hub networking - These events provided an opportunity for Partner Schools to network with their peers, share best practice, and reflect on common behaviour themes/goals.

I can’t tell you how transformative the Behaviour Hubs programme has been for our school. We knew we had to change behaviour – we just didn’t know where to begin. But being a part of Behaviour Hubs made this process a lot more manageable.

School case studies

After graduating from Behaviour Hubs, we spoke with staff at Edward Worlledge Ormiston Academy - a primary school based in Great Yarmouth - to learn more about their behaviour journey.

Access behaviour support

The Department for ´óÏã½¶ÊÓÆµ has published a collection of resources to support improving behaviour in schools.

Originally created for the Behaviour Hubs programme, these resources are now publicly available to all settings - helping school leaders to develop, implement and maintain a whole-school behaviour culture.
