An open application process will also be held for new members of the network, this is expected to run in spring 2023.
For the past six years, Research Schools and Associate Research Schools in the RSN have worked with others in their region, providing evidence-based training and follow-on support with implementing lessons from research into teaching practice. The network has played a significant role in building connections between schools, supporting the use of evidence at scale.
We are extremely grateful to the schools who have been part of the network to date for their hard work and dedication to improving outcomes for all children.
