Six schools secure funding to boost the quality of teaching in their regions

Six schools have secured £210,000 in funding across three academic years to form new Research Schools, joining the Education Endowment Foundation’s (EEF) network of Research Schools across England.

Their main role will be to support schools to use evidence to improve teaching practice. They 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.

The newly appointed Research Schools, listed below, will each receive funding from September 2023 until July 2026 to support their local schools to improve pupil outcomes through better use of evidence. This will consist of a core annual grant to cover leadership time, staff development as well as training to support evidence-led practice in the local region.
