Research and Development

We are keen to support action research that can help to make a real difference in the classroom. We are working together closely with our strategic partner Pen Green Alliance whose research and work with families is renowned both nationally and internationally. Based within one of the country’s largest Children’s Centres they provide a unique education and research facility within their purpose built conference centre.

If you have an idea for a classroom based project, we can support you to turn this into a meaningful piece of action research, that could be used by others to improve outcomes for pupils.
