TKAT’s Front Lawn Primary Academy has secured £210,000 over 3 years (£70,000 a year) to form a new Research School, joining the Education Endowment Foundation’s (EEF) network of Research Schools across England.

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

The new Research Schools is part of the EEF’s new regional strategy, which aims to provide direct support around making, and acting on, evidence informed decisions to schools with high levels of socio-economic disadvantage.

Kate Couldwell Headteacher at Front lawn Primary Academy said:

‘We are absolutely delighted to have been given the opportunity to join the Research Schools Network. We look forward to supporting schools across the South Coast to implement the EEF's research and to share good practice.’
