Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools have applied to be Behaviour Hubs in each month since that scheme's launch.

When the behaviour hubs programme began in early 2021, 112 applications were received to be behaviour hub lead schools, of which 22 schools and 2 multi academy trusts were chosen. The department has recently invited applications for the second cohort of lead schools and received 130 applications, which we are currently assessing.

Since the beginning of the programme, a total of 195 schools and multi academy trusts have applied to be partner schools and receive support from the behaviour hubs lead schools. 34 schools and two multi academy trusts were selected for the first cohort and have been receiving support since April 2021. A second cohort of 41 partner schools and two multi academy trusts have since been recruited and their induction took place in September 2021.
