A Devon School Takes the Lead in Enhancing Student Attendance and Behaviour
Cranbrook Education Campus (CEC) has been chosen as a Lead School in the Department for Education’s national Attendance and Behaviour Hubs programme, a significant milestone that emphasizes the importance of nurturing positive educational environments. This initiative aims to improve attendance and strengthen behaviour cultures in schools across the South West and beyond.
A Commitment to Student Success
Stephen Farmer, head of campus at CEC, expressed the institution's commitment to creating a safe and supportive atmosphere for all students. He stated, "At CEC, we believe that every child deserves to feel safe, valued and supported to succeed." This ethos has contributed to a culture where students feel a sense of belonging and are encouraged to strive for their ambitions.
Collaboration for Better Outcomes
As a designated hub, CEC will collaborate with other schools, sharing successful strategies and learning from their experiences. The programme is designed to offer one-to-one support for school leaders, organize open days and professional learning events, and assist schools in creating environments where students feel connected and engaged.
A Vision for the Future
Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, highlighted the significance of CEC's selection, stating that it reflects the school's thoughtful and inclusive approach to behaviour and attendance. The aim is to support hundreds of schools in need, ultimately helping more children feel connected to school and motivated to learn. The initiative is poised for future expansion, demonstrating a commitment to long-term improvement in student outcomes.
Cranbrook Education Campus's recognition as a hub reveals not only its dedication to educational excellence but also its role in building a network of support for schools looking to foster inclusive and engaging learning environments. This initiative sets a promising precedent for educational institutions aiming to enhance student wellbeing and academic success.
