| Abstract: | In April 2021, the Behaviour Hubs programme was launched as a three-year initiative funded by the Department for Education (DfE) to support schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) in improving behaviour. The programme encouraged 'lead' schools and MATs with exemplary behaviour cultures to collaborate closely with 'partner' schools seeking to improve their pupil behaviour. It aimed to improve the behaviour culture in partner schools and spread good practice across the country. In 2023, NatCen was commissioned by the DfE to continue the evaluation of the programme; building on the partially completed evaluation by Ecorys which included design of an initial Theory of Change (ToC) and qualitative and quantitative data collection. The evaluation aimed to: (1) determine whether the programme had met its strategic objectives and achieved its projected outcomes for schools, staff, and pupils; (2) understand how and why the intervention had (or had not) met its objectives, by developing and testing the programme's ToC; and (3) investigate the change mechanisms triggered by the programme that produced the observed outcomes and impacts, examining variation across different schools and respondent groups. This report outlines the findings of the programme evaluation, reflections on the sustainability of programme outcomes, and recommendations. |
