Coronavirus Information 15th Septmeber 2020

This is your daily email to keep you updated on the government’s response to coronavirus (COVID-19).

Behaviour hubs

Behaviour hubs will enable schools and multi-academy trusts (MATs) with exemplary behaviour cultures and practices to work with schools that want to improve their own behaviour culture.

Schools will form hubs to learn from each other, sharing good practice and equipping heads and senior leaders with the tools to improve their approach.

Due to the disruption caused by coronavirus (COVID-19) earlier this year, the Department for Education (DfE) has now reopened the window for applications for eligible schools and MATs to apply to play a lead role in the behaviour hubs programme.

DfE is looking to appoint around 20 outstanding lead schools from across the primary, secondary, special and alternative provision sectors. DfE is also looking for 2 to 3 MATs with excellent behaviour management programmes that are willing to support other trusts. Appointments are due to be made in spring 2021.

Applications received in this round will be considered alongside those received in the first round in March 2020. If you submitted an application in the previous round, you do not need to resubmit your application.

Further information on how to apply is available in the guidance. Applications must be submitted by midday, Friday 30 October 2020
