TG Research School
Tudor Grange Research School works collaboratively with schools in the West Midlands to make the best possible use of research-based evidence to improve teaching and learning, with the aim of enhancing outcomes for all children, and especially those who are disadvantaged.
We aim to build bridges between research and schools through:
- Supporting teachers in connecting theory and practice, so that they are able to understand the latest evidence and apply it to their specific contexts;
- Sharing the very best examples of how research evidence has been put into practice, to encourage and inspire;
- Connecting schools throughout the region, promoting collaboration and building a sense of community and shared purpose
