Research School Network: About Us KYRA Research School

At KYRA Research School, we bridge the gap between research and classroom practice, partner with schools to improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils through evidence-informed implementation, robust evaluation, quality CPD and follow-on support.

KYRA Research School, part of the EEF’s Research School Network, works in partnership across Lincolnshire and the East Midlands as a bridge between evidence and practice to address the attainment gap for disadvantaged pupils. Our core activities are focussed on facilitating evidence-based professional development, developing partnerships and sharing the evidence of what has worked.

We have designated 59 Evidence Leads in Education (ELEs) who are practitioners from all phases. ELEs support the work of KYRA Research School and our Associate Research School across the region. You can read a selection of their profiles at the bottom of this page.

KYRA Research School is delighted to announce that it has received funding, via the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), to establish a Research School Hub to work with schools in North and North East Lincolnshire. The Hub was launched in July 2021, with the mission to support the use of evidence-informed school improvement and develop sustained capacity within the region. We are working in partnership with Leading Learning Forward TSA, Humber TSA, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire Councils.
