Research School Network: Welcome to the Durrington Research School

The Durrington Research School will act as a regional hub for the Research Schools Network. We will share what we know about putting research into practice, and support schools to make better use of evidence to inform their teaching and learning, so that they really make a difference in the classroom.

We will do this through three strands:

Communication

We will use this website, a monthly newsletter, email contact, conferences, workshops and twitter to communicate the most recent news about evidence informed practice to our network of schools.

Training

We will offer a range of training programmes for our network of schools to take part in. These training programmes will be focused on key issues that are relevant to the issues that are faced by schools within our network. Further details on this will follow shortly.

Innovation

We will support schools within our network to apply for Innovation Evaluation Grants. Teachers within the network of schools can apply for one of these grants, with the support of our Research School, to develop innovative teaching and learning approaches they are implementing in their classroom or school.
