Welcome!!

We are delighted to let you know that St Mary’s RC Primary School in Haslingden is now a full Research School and is known as Lancashire Research School joining the Education Endowment Foundation’s (EEF) network of Research Schools across England..

Our main role will be to support schools to use evidence to improve teaching practice. We will provide local and regional support to other schools by communicating research evidence and supporting the translation of this into practice through training, exemplification and school-to-school support.

Since 2016, the EEF’s Research Schools Network has reached over 10,000 schools across England through training and events on supporting evidence-informed teaching practice.

Professor Becky Francis, CEO of the Education Endowment Foundation, said:

“It has never been more important to assist schools in engaging with evidence to inform their approaches to teaching and learning. The appointment of these new Research Schools will be a valuable source of support for others in their respective regions, as they strive to meet the needs of their students”

“These latest additions to the EEF’s Research Schools Network offer the opportunity to establish new connections, through which schools across England will be able to share expertise and access practical tools, with the view to raising the attainment of all of their pupils, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.”

We would love to share with you information about our upcoming briefings, training and events and share with you the latest EEF updates via our half – termly newsletter.
