RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hubs

22 Jun 26

The RISE Attendance & Behaviour Hub programme is pleased to announce that registrations are now open for the January 2027 regional support offer of the programme. All mainstream schools are eligible to participate in the regional support offer, including schools currently receiving targeted RISE support. The programme brings together schools from across the region to tackle shared attendance and behaviour priorities through practical, school-led collaboration and peer learning.

Schools joining the programme will benefit from:

High-quality online CPD delivered by sector experts, with 92% of participants in the previous cohort rating the sessions as useful
Exclusive opportunities to visit lead schools and see effective practice in action through in-person open days
Collaborative, solution-focused discussions with schools facing similar challenges across the region
Access to proven strategies and approaches that support sustainable school improvement

Run by schools, for schools, the programme provides a valuable opportunity to learn from experienced practitioners, share effective practice and strengthen approaches to attendance and behaviour. Feedback from previous cohorts has been overwhelmingly positive. Participants described the open day visits as "inspirational" and among the "most useful training" they had received, with the visits achieving an average usefulness rating of 4.76/5.

Schools interested in joining the January 2027 Cohort should complete the Expression of Interest Form RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hubs: Expression of Interest by 6 November 2026. A member of the Attendance and Behaviour Hub team will then be in touch with further information and next steps.
