UK Schools
We carry out research into all aspects of UK schools, including Early Years, Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form.
​
We talk to school leaders, teachers, parents and pupils and we maintain our own Teacher Research Panel so that we can recruit teaching professionals to take part in our research.
​
Below are a few of examples of research projects in the UK schools sector. If you have a project you would like our help with, please contact us.
