RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hubs programme
In December 2025, the DfE published information for school leaders about the RISE attendance and behaviour hubs programme, its benefits and support, and how to join.

Support pathways
Lead schools will deliver two support pathways:
1. Enhanced support: this pathway is for schools which want and need more concerted support for attendance and behaviour. Eligible partner schools will receive 10 days of support over 3 terms from their allocated lead schools. This support will be based around helping the partner school understand its attendance/behaviour strengths and areas for development, as well as developing and implementing an improvement plan.
2. Regional support: eligible partner schools will have access to a structured attendance and behaviour CPD offer, opportunities to visit the allocated lead school as part of a series of termly open day events, and opportunities to discuss and share effective practice with other schools in the hub. Each lead school will facilitate a network of 30-40 partner schools as part of this pathway.
In addition to these pathways, the DfE will continue to deliver universal support and resources for attendance and behaviour for all schools through national best practice webinars, published effective practice, data tools and guidance. All resources will be made available on GOV.UK.
Details of lead schools will be shared in the new year, when they have been confirmed.
