Gavin Williamson backed heads cracking down on mobile phones and announced a behaviour survey in a speech to the CST conference.

The Department for Education has appointed 28 more schools and eight multi-academy trusts to its behaviour hubs programme.

The £10 million scheme, led by government behaviour tsar Tom Bennett, involves schools and trusts helping their peers “diagnose issues and implement new behaviour approaches”.

The DfE said almost 700 schools will receive support between 2021 and 2024, including training by expert advisers and access to networking events and open days.

The newly appointed trusts and schools all demonstrate “exceptional behaviour culture”, the DfE said.

Schools minister Robin Walker said they had a “wealth of experience and expertise”, adding: “Helping schools to create calm, orderly, safe and supportive environments is key to levelling up education for children and young people.”

    I’m shocked that Cabot in Bristol are part of it since they have an appalling approach to behaviour in some of their own schools and clearly do not support staff to address behaviour in an effective way. Most of my kid’s lessons are disrupted by the behaviour of others or by bad examples of staff ill equipped to support a class they are unfamiliar with.
