The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton recognised nationally for excellence in attendance and behaviour
ONE Multi Academies Trust is delighted to announce that The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton (TKAW) has been selected by the Department for Education as 1 of 57 RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hub Lead Schools across the country. This appointment recognises the school’s strong track record in improving attendance, fostering positive behaviour, and delivering inclusive education for all young people.
As part of the national RISE programme, TKAW will work closely with schools across the region and beyond, sharing effective strategies, providing expert support, and helping to drive improvements in attendance and behaviour, one of the Government’s four major education priorities.
Senior Assistant Principal & Hub Lead, Mr Manraj Singh Dhillon, shared his pride in the appointment: “We are proud to announce that The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton is now a RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hub Lead School. This reflects our commitment to inclusion, care, and high expectations for all pupils. We look forward to collaborating with schools across the region to strengthen attendance and behaviour and make a positive difference for young people.”
Principal of The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton, Mr Sukhdev Shoker, added: “As Principal of The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton, I am incredibly proud that we have been selected by the DfE as a Lead School within the new RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hubs programme. This is a testament to the collective hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment of our staff, students, and wider community.
We look forward to sharing our successful approaches and working collaboratively with schools both locally and nationally to support improved outcomes for all young people. This opportunity reflects our ongoing mission to lead with integrity, serve our community, and help raise standards across the sector.”
CEO of ONE Multi Academies Trust, Anita Kaur Notta, commented: “We are incredibly proud that The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton has been recognised nationally for its impact and expertise. Being chosen as one of the DfE’s RISE Attendance and Behaviour Hub Lead Schools demonstrates the strength, resilience, and high ambition that runs through our Trust.
At ONE Multi Academies Trust, we are committed to supporting schools both within and beyond our family. This appointment gives us a powerful opportunity to contribute to one of the Government’s key education priorities - improving attendance, and to ensure that more children and young people benefit from consistent, compassionate, and effective practice. We look forward to playing our part in helping schools across the region to thrive.”
This achievement marks an important milestone for both The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton and ONE Multi Academies Trust. As the school begins its work as a RISE Hub Lead School, it will share its strong and sustained approaches to pastoral care, early intervention, community engagement, and high expectations, supporting other schools to strengthen their provision and improve outcomes for pupils.
The Trust extends its thanks to all staff, students, families, and community partners whose dedication and support have contributed to this recognition.
