Research School Network: About Us

As a Research School our core purpose is to: 

• share and disseminate the very best of evidence-informed practice to schools and teachers across the south of England
• help teachers and leaders to mobilise the research evidence that is out there, into their classrooms
• provide evidence-informed training around a range of themes.
  host conferences and events
• support schools, Initial Teacher Training and Teaching Schools in the region
• develop innovations that help improve practice in the classroom, so that all of our students get a great education
• provide training and facilitate collaboration for ​‘Research Leads’ in schools.

We are very proud to take a role in supporting a school-led system as part of a dynamic network across the region and the country. Working closely with the Institute for Effective Education and the Education Endowment Foundation, alongside a range of higher education institutions and many forward-thinking schools and teachers across the United Kingdom, we will support the aim of developing an evidence-based profession that sees teachers empowered by accessible tools based on research evidence.
