A Devon School Sets a New Standard in Education with Lead Status

Cranbrook Education Campus (CEC), part of the Ted Wragg Trust, has achieved significant recognition by being selected as a Lead School for the Department for Education’s national Attendance and Behaviour Hubs programme. This designation marks a major milestone in CEC's commitment to fostering positive learning environments and enhancing school attendance and behaviour across the South West and beyond.

A Commitment to Student Success

Stephen Farmer, head of campus at CEC, expressed pride in the initiative, stating, "At CEC, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued and supported to succeed." This ethos is central to CEC's role within the programme, where they will provide invaluable support to other schools, sharing best practices while also learning from diverse educational contexts.

Supporting Schools and Strengthening Communities

As part of its hub status, CEC will offer tailored support for school leaders and will host open days and professional learning events. This initiative aims not just to create a sense of belonging among pupils but to ensure that schools can promptly identify and respond to challenges. Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, highlighted that this recognition reflects CEC’s inclusive approach, which is built on strong relationships and a clear commitment to student needs.

Looking to the Future

The programme is designed to support hundreds of schools that are most in need, with plans for future expansion, ensuring that even more children will benefit from supportive and nurturing educational environments. CEC’s third hub recognition illustrates their ongoing dedication to creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all pupils, built on positive relationships and clarity in routines.

This initiative not only bolsters the reputation of Cranbrook Education Campus but sets a new benchmark for educational institutions across the region, paving the way for improved student experiences and outcomes.
